[PATCH] cgroup: fix fail path in cgroup_load_subsys()

From: Vladimir Davydov
Date: Sat Dec 07 2013 - 02:58:42 EST


We should not call cgroup_unload_subsys() if online_css() fails, because
online_css() does not assign css to cgroup on failure, while
offline_css() called from cgroup_unload_subsys() expects it is assigned.
So let's call everything we need to rollback inline without involving
cgroup_unload_subsys().
