Consider a case where the kernel is compiled with
CONFIG_CGROUP_FAVOR_DYNMODS=n and kernel command line is passed with
cgroup_favordynmods=true, this would set the have_favordynmods to true.
In cgroup_favordynmods_setup(), should it return 0 with a pr_warn(),
when CONFIG_CGROUP_FAVOR_DYNMODS=n in the above case, or is this
expected behavior?
