No, it's not.

The debug code has been moved from kernel/cgroup_debug.c to
kernel/cgroup.c, but the config and the code is not dead.

Is it a false positive of that check? The pointer to debug_subsys
is stored in an array, and the array will be iterated in some places,
so debug_subsys will be accessed.
