Hence register the policy is enough, because cpd_alloc/free_fn will
be handled for each blk-cgroup, and there is no need to activate the
policy for disk.

As one can see in the output of git grep -nHEB1 '>pd_(alloc|free)_fn\(',
none of the pd_alloc_fn / pd_free_fn callers checks whether or not these
pointers are NULL. Hence my question why this patch does not trigger any
NULL pointer dereferences?

Because the blkcg_deactivate_policy() is removed as well, there are no

Sorry about the typo, blkcg_activate_policy() is removed, all the places
of pd_(alloc|free)_fn can't be reached.

callers now... blkcg_policy_register() is still called to make sure
cpd_(alloc|free)_fn will still be called.
