    memcg: get/put parents at create/free · 7bcc1bb1

    The lifetime of struct cgroup and struct mem_cgroup is different and
    mem_cgroup has its own reference count for handling references from
    swap_cgroup.
    
    This causes strange problem that the parent mem_cgroup dies while child
    mem_cgroup alive, and this problem causes a bug in case of
    use_hierarchy==1 because res_counter_uncharge climbs up the tree.
    
    This patch is for avoiding it by getting the parent at create, and putting
    it at freeing.
