This is O(n^2) where n is the path depth.  It's not a hot path, though, do
we care?
I don't think it matters.  It's a slow path and cgroup hierarchies
aren't supposed to be super deep to begin with.  If it ever does, we
can replace the cgroup->ancestor_ids[] array with ancestor pointer
array and walk that instead.

Thanks.
