So, if you need css -> memcg casting, I think that can just be RCU
protected. In fact, even for the iteration and access, RCU protection
probably makes more sense then KF_ACQUIRE/RELEASE. It's simpler and less
overhead especially given that most bpf progs that people care about are
non-sleepable and already in RCU critical section anyway.
Thanks.
