Re: [PATCH cgroup/for-3.12 1/2] cgroup: fix subsystem file accesses on the root cgroup

105347ba5 ("cgroup: make cgroup_file_open() rcu_read_lock() around
cgroup_css() and add cfent->css") added cfent->css to cache the
associted cgroup_subsys_state across file operations.

A cfent is associated with single css throughout its lifetime and the
origimal commit initialized the cache pointer during cgroup_add_file()
and verified that it matches the actual one in cgroup_file_open().
While this works fine for !root cgroups, it's broken for root cgroups
as files in a root cgroup are created before the css's are associated
with the cgroup and thus cgroup_css() call in cgroup_add_file()
returns NULL associating all cfents in the root cgroup with NULL css.
This makes cgroup_file_open() trigger WARN and fail with -ENODEV for
all !core subsystem files in the root cgroups.

There's no reason to initialize cfent->css separately from
cgroup_add_file().  As the association never changes,
cgroup_file_open() can set it unconditionally every time and
containing the logic in cgroup_file_open() makes more sense anyway as
the only reason it's necessary is file->private_data being already
occupied.

Fix it by setting cfent->css unconditionally from cgroup_file_open().
