[PATCH 2/2] cgroup: Skip subtree root in cgroup_update_dfl_csses()

[Waiman Long <longman-H+wXaHxf7aLQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>]

The cgroup_update_dfl_csses() function updates css associations when a
cgroup's subtree_control file is modified. Any changes made to a cgroup's
subtree_control file, however, will only affect its descendants but not
the cgroup itself. So there is no point in migrating csses associated
with that cgroup. We can skip them instead.
