Thanks for all the comments.

Since the current tracepoints print the path length too by 
__trace_wb_cgroup_size and __trace_wbc_cgroup_size, but we can't get the 
path length if we switch to group ino. So, I'm supposed I have to drop 
all the *_size stuff.

And, when CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK is not enabled, 
__trace_wb_assign_cgroup and __trace_wbc_assign_cgroup return 
"strcpy(buf, "/")", so to get aligned with this, I need print out the 
ino of "/", right? But, the ROOT_INO may vary from different filesystems.

All of them will be addressed in V4, but it may experience some delay 
since I have to travel this week.
