From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxx>
Subject: memcg: simplify mem_cgroup_iter

Current implementation of mem_cgroup_iter has to consider both css and
memcg to find out whether no group has been found (css==NULL - aka the
loop is completed) and that no memcg is associated with the found node
(!memcg - aka css_tryget failed because the group is no longer alive). 
This leads to awkward tweaks like tests for css && !memcg to skip the
current node.

It will be much easier if we got rid off css variable altogether and only
rely on memcg.  In order to do that the iteration part has to skip dead
nodes.  This sounds natural to me and as a nice side effect we will get a
simple invariant that memcg is always alive when non-NULL and all nodes
have been visited otherwise.

We could get rid of the surrounding while loop but keep it in for now to
make review easier. It will go away in the following patch.
