[PATCH cgroup/for-4.4] cgroup: fix too early usage of static_branch_disable()

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Fri Sep 25 2015 - 16:24:36 EST


49d1dc4b8179 ("cgroup: implement static_key based
cgroup_subsys_enabled() and cgroup_subsys_on_dfl()") converted cgroup
enabled test to use static_key; however, cgroup_disable() is called
before static_key subsystem itself is initialized and thus leads to
the following warning when "cgroup_disable=" parameter is specified.

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at kernel/jump_label.c:99 static_key_slow_dec+0x44/0x60()

...

Fix it by making cgroup_disable() to record the subsystems to disable
in cgroup_disable_mask and moving the actual application to
cgroup_init() which is late enough and where the enabled state is
first used.
