I thought about this, but this would have unnecessary memory overhead as
we only need one lock per-subsystem. So having a lock in every single
css is wasteful.

Maybe we can put the lock in struct cgroup_subsys? Then we can still
initialize them in cgroup_init_subsys().

I think it will be confusing to have cgroup_rstat_boot() only initialize
some of the locks.

I think if we initialize the subsys locks in cgroup_init_subsys(), then
we should open code initializing the base locks in cgroup_init(), and
remove cgroup_rstat_boot().

Alternatively, we can make cgroup_rstat_boot() take in a subsys and
initialize its lock. If we pass NULL, then it initialize the base locks.
In this case we can call cgroup_rstat_boot() for each subsystem that has
an rstat callback in cgroup_init() (or cgroup_init_subsys()), and then
once for the base locks.

WDYT?
