I have some questions. 
- How about using the same numbering scheme as process ID for css_id
  instead of idr? It prevents the same ID from being resued quickly.
- Why are css_ids assigned per css? If each cgroup has a unique ID and
  the subsystems can refer to it, I can make the above code simple.

Thanks,
