[Devel] [PATCH VZ8] kernfs/ve: ignore kernfs 've_perms_map' in cgroups.

[Valeriy Vdovin]

From: "Valeriy.Vdovin" <valeriy.vdovin at virtuozzo.com>

Kernfs implements file permissions logic, that relies on
(struct kernfs_node).ve_perms_map. In VZ8 cgroups have been modified
to use kernfs, but cgroups do not benefit from using ve_perms_map in
any way so it's left uninitialized in cgroup code. There is no clear
way of implementing any kind of stub ve_perms_map for cgroups, so it
seems the best logic is to allow the field exist as NULL for those
who uses kernfs but don't wish to use ve_perms_map.
