[PATCH 05/14] cgroup: remove cgroup->parent

[Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>]

cgroup->parent is redundant as cgroup->self.parent can also be used to
determine the parent cgroup and we're moving towards using
cgroup_subsys_states as the fundamental structural blocks.  This patch
introduces cgroup_parent() which follows cgroup->self.parent and
removes cgroup->parent.
