[PATCH for-4.20-fixes] cgroup: fix CSS_TASK_ITER_PROCS

CSS_TASK_ITER_PROCS implements process-only iteration by making
css_task_iter_advance() skip tasks which aren't threadgroup leaders;
however, when an iteration is started css_task_iter_start() calls the
inner helper function css_task_iter_advance_css_set() instead of
css_task_iter_advance(). As the helper doesn't have the skip logic,
when the first task to visit is a non-leader thread, it doesn't get
skipped correctly as shown in the following example.

# ps -L 2030
PID LWP TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
2030 2030 pts/0 Sl+ 0:00 ./test-thread
2030 2031 pts/0 Sl+ 0:00 ./test-thread
# mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/b
# echo threaded > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/cgroup.type
# echo threaded > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/b/cgroup.type
# echo 2030 > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/cgroup.procs
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/cgroup.threads
2030
2031
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/x/cgroup.procs
2030
# echo 2030 > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/b/cgroup.threads
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/x/cgroup.procs
2031
2030

The last read of cgroup.procs is incorrectly showing non-leader 2031
in cgroup.procs output.

This can be fixed by updating css_task_iter_advance() to handle the
first advance and css_task_iters_tart() to call
css_task_iter_advance() instead of the inner helper. After the fix,
the same commands result in the following (correct) result:

# ps -L 2062
PID LWP TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
2062 2062 pts/0 Sl+ 0:00 ./test-thread
2062 2063 pts/0 Sl+ 0:00 ./test-thread
# mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/b
# echo threaded > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/cgroup.type
# echo threaded > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/b/cgroup.type
# echo 2062 > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/cgroup.procs
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/cgroup.threads
2062
2063
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/x/cgroup.procs
2062
# echo 2062 > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/b/cgroup.threads
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/x/cgroup.procs
2062
