Hi Sargun,

just some minor comment inline.

Nit, please keep it in this reverse tree like order (whenever possible)
to be consistent with kernel coding style:

	struct bpf_array *array = container_of(map, struct bpf_array, map);
	struct cgroup *cgrp;
+	if (unlikely(idx >= array->map.max_entries))

+	if (unlikely(!cgrp))

+
+	return cgrp;
+}
I think this inline helper doesn't buy us too much to be honest. First,
it really should be prefixed with bpf_* if this is exposed like this to
avoid potential naming clashes with other headers, but apart from that
a generic function to fetch an array map pointer returning a cgroup
is also not really generic. We have other specialized array maps also
fetching a pointer apart from cgroup, so either we make a real generic
helper for use in all of them, or just add the content of above into the
bpf_current_task_in_cgroup() helper directly. Probably just going for
the latter is more straight forward and likely also smaller diff.

Rest looks otherwise good to me, thanks!
