cgroups: fix a serious bug in cgroupstats
Try this, and you'll get oops immediately:
# cd Documentation/accounting/
# gcc -o getdelays getdelays.c
# mount -t cgroup -o debug xxx /mnt
# ./getdelays -C /mnt/tasks
Because a normal file's dentry->d_fsdata is a pointer to struct cftype,
not struct cgroup.
After the patch, it returns EINVAL if we try to get cgroupstats
from a normal file.
