Re: [PATCH 5/6] memcg: make mem_cgroup_reparent_charges non failing

[Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxx>]

This is an updated version of the patch. I have dropped
.__DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs in this one as it makes the best sense to
me. I didn't add Tejun's Reviewed-by because of this change. Could you
recheck, please?

Subject: [PATCH] memcg: make mem_cgroup_reparent_charges non failing

Now that pre_destroy callbacks are called from within cgroup_lock and
the cgroup has been checked to be empty without any children then there
is no other way to fail.
mem_cgroup_pre_destroy doesn't have to take a reference to memcg's css
because all css' are marked dead already.

mem_cgroup_subsys.__DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs can be dropped as
mem_cgroup_pre_destroy cannot fail now.

Changes since v1
- drop __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs
