Can we, in addition to descendant_pre and descendant_post walk
algorithms also add the one that does ascendants walk (i.e., start
from specified cgroup and walk up to the root cgroup)? I don't have
specific example, but it seems natural to include it for "cgroup
iterator" in general. Hopefully it won't add much code to the
implementation.
