Hmm... why would cgroup ID be implementation-specific? It's a
published field

I'm not a big believer of trivial accessors. They tend to obfuscate
things more than helping anything. Here, we need to switch from
cgrp->id to css->id. Wrapping cgrp->id by css_to_id() doesn't really
help anything especially because there will be cases where we'd
actually want cgroup IDs instead of css IDs too.

Thanks.
