Right, I was thinking whether it should call seq_show for v == NULL case. All
other iterators seem to do so, it's a bit different here since it is only
iterating over a single cgroup, I guess, but it would be nice to have some
consistency.

I think current approach is also not safe if cgroup_id gets reused, right? I.e.
it only does cgroup_get_from_id in seq_start, not at attach time, so it may not
be the same cgroup when calling read(2). kernfs is using idr_alloc_cyclic, so it
is less likely to occur, but since it wraps around to find a free ID it might
not be theoretical.
