cgroup: fix fail path in cgroup_load_subsys()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Calling cgroup_unload_subsys() from cgroup_load_subsys() after
online_css() failure will result in a NULL ptr dereference on attempt to
offline_css(), because online_css() only assigns css to cgroup on
success. Let's fix that by skipping calls to offline_css() and
css_free() in cgroup_unload_subsys() if there is no css, and freeing css
in cgroup_load_subsys() on online_css() failure.
