Now the output of io cgroup name in blktrace is controlled by

using cgroup v1 for io controller, there is no output of cgroup
name in trace file, because cgroup_path_from_kernfs_id() uses
cgrp_dfl_root.kf_root to find the cgroup file and cgrp_dfl_root
is only valid for cgroup v2.

So fix cgroup_path_from_kernfs_id() to support both cgroup v1 and v2.

Fixes: 69fd5c3 ("blktrace: add an option to allow displaying cgroup path")

This isn't a bug fix, so the above tag probably isn't necessary.

I don't know.  Controllers can be rebound dynamically and we may end
up applying ino+gen to the wrong root.  For tracing, it's not a big
problem, but I'd much prefer to keep the interface strict so that we
can always depend on the correctness of these lookups.  Given that
blkio in cgroup1 is severely deficient (buffered writes aren't
supported at all), I feel reluctant about adding new features to it at
cost and this has some possibility of becoming a long term headache.

Thanks.
