This patch (of 5):
Explicitly document that css sibling/descendant linkage is protected by
cgroup_mutex or RCU. Also, document in css_next_descendant_pre() and
similar functions that it isn't necessary to hold a ref on @pos.
The following changes in this patchset rely on this clarification for
simplification in memcg iteration code.
