332ea1f697be ("bpf: Add bpf_cgroup_from_id() kfunc") added bpf_cgroup_from_id() which calls current_cgns_cgroup_dfl() through cgroup_get_from_id(). However, BPF programs may be attached to a point where current->nsproxy has already been cleared to NULL by exit_task_namespace() and calling bpf_cgroup_from_id() would cause an oops. Just return the system-wide root if nsproxy has been cleared. This allows all cgroups to be looked up after the task passed through exit_task_namespace(), which semantically makes sense. Given that the only way to get this behavior is through BPF programs, it seems safe but let's see what others think.

If this looks okay, please apply to bpf/for-next.
