    memcg: simplify mem_cgroup_iter · 19f39402

    The current implementation of mem_cgroup_iter has to consider both css
    and memcg to find out whether no group has been found (css==NULL - aka
    the loop is completed) and that no memcg is associated with the found
    node (!memcg - aka css_tryget failed because the group is no longer
    alive).  This leads to awkward tweaks like tests for css && !memcg to
    skip the current node.
    
    It will be much easier if we got rid off css variable altogether and
    only rely on memcg.  In order to do that the iteration part has to skip
    dead nodes.  This sounds natural to me and as a nice side effect we will
    get a simple invariant that memcg is always alive when non-NULL and all
    nodes have been visited otherwise.
    
    We could get rid of the surrounding while loop but keep it in for now to
    make review easier.  It will go away in the following patch.
