Hello,

There are only two controllers which make use of the module support -
net_cls and net_prio, both of which, non-coincidentally, aren't actual
resource controllers.  It's highly unlikely that the actual resource
controlling controllers are gonna be made modular and we aren't gonna
add more non-resource controllers either, so the value of module
support is strictly restricted to the two existing controllers.

Both controllers are fairly simple while module support in cgroup core
adds quite a bit of complexity.  Building those two controllers as
module only saves about half-page in vmlinux, which really can't
justify the additional complexity and (minute but existing) runtime
overhead.

This patchset makes net_cls and net_prio config options bool so that
they can't be built as modules and drop module support from cgroup
core, which in turn facilitates further simplification leading to
removal of cgroup_root_mutex by allowing iterating subsystems outside
the mutexes.

This patchset contains the following six patches.

 0001-cgroup-make-CONFIG_NET_CLS_CGROUP-and-CONFIG_NETPRIO.patch
 0002-cgroup-drop-module-support.patch
 0003-cgroup-clean-up-cgroup_subsys-names-and-initializati.patch
 0004-cgroup-rename-cgroup_subsys-subsys_id-to-id.patch
 0005-cgroup-update-locking-in-cgroup_show_options.patch
 0006-cgroup-remove-cgroup_root_mutex.patch

0001-0002 drop cgroup module support.

0003-0004 are cleanups.

0005-0006 remove cgroup_root_mutex.

The patchset is also available in the following git branch.

diffstat follows.  Thanks.
