[PATCH 1/2] cgroups: Fix to return errno in a failure path

[Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com>]

In cgroup_create(), if alloc_css_id() returns failure, the errno
is not propagated to userspace, so mkdir will fail silently.

To trigger this bug, we mount blkio (or memory subsystem), and
create more then 65534 cgroups. (The number of cgroups is limited
to 65535 if a subsystem has use_id == 1)

 # mount -t cgroup -o blkio xxx /mnt
 # for ((i = 0; i < 65534; i++)); do mkdir /mnt/$i; done
 # mkdir /mnt/65534
 (should return ENOSPC)
