Hmmm... it doesn't really guarantee that as css's can be offlined with
residual css refcnts, os the css may well be offlined by the time it
reaches the rw functions. What's guaranteed is that their refcnts
wouldn't be zero. Eventually we need to implement proper sever
semantics (probably by replacing the custom fs implementation with
sysfs) but right now controllers still need to deal with offline
css's.
Thanks.
