Heh. I added comments everywhere else but the place it's used. Updated.
In hindsight though, it does make it a little problematic here as you
may have a different blkg than css. FWIW, it makes the next few patches
easier to read as they don't need to do nontrivial error handling that
will eventually be ripped out. And this is to really handle the edge
cases of OOM and dying cgroups. If you think it's worth fixing I can go
back through the set and adjust it all.

ret_blkg is only set if a parent exists. I can move that up to the
definition to remove the extra branch.
