For this (and task_bdev_map) it would be cleaner to just leave the
cdev_map and bdev_map in the root cgroup as NULL, so you could just
make this

struct kobj_map *task_cdev_map(struct task_struct *tsk)
{
  return css_to_devs(task_subsys_state(tsk, devs_subsys_id))->cdev_map;
}

There's no locking involved on these calls, other than the cgroups
code guaranteeing that the subsystem objects themselves won't go away.
A quick look over the kobj_map calls suggests that these calls may be
thread-safe - can you confirm that. (And maybe comment at the top of
the function?)

Is there any chance of this overflowing the buffer page?
