css_alloc() needs the parent css, while cgroup_css() gets current cgropu's css. So we are getting the wrong css during cgroup_init_subsys(). Fortunately, cgrp_dfl_root.cgrp's css is not set yet, so the value we pass to css_alloc() doesn't harm to the system. Let's pass NULL directly during init, since we know there is no parent yet.
