Hmm. The function allocating ID does

4530 static struct css_id *get_new_cssid(struct cgroup_subsys *ss, int depth)
4531 {
==
4546         spin_lock(&ss->id_lock);
4547         /* Don't use 0. allocates an ID of 1-65535 */
4548         error = idr_get_new_above(&ss->idr, newid, 1, &myid);
4549         spin_unlock(&ss->id_lock);
==

and allocates ID above "1", always.

Adding BUG_ON(newid->id != 1) will mean that we doubt the bitmap function and
consider possibility that new->id == 0.

But, we're 100% sure that it never happens.

I don't think adding a comment is a right thing to do.
