The thing was that cgroup_init() happens before any initcalls so
you'll end up with root css being set up before other stuff gets
initialized, which could be okay but a bit nasty. I'm wondering why
cgroup_init() has to happen so early. The cpu one is already taking
an early init path, but the rest doesn't seem to need such early init.
Anyways, yeap, no objection to cleaning up anyway which fits memcg.
We can deal with the whole init order thing later.
Thanks.
