6f60eade2433 ("cgroup: generalize obtaining the handles of and notifying cgroup files") introduced cftype->file_offset so that the handles for per-css file instances can be recorded. These handles then can be used, for example, to generate file modified notifications.Unfortunately, it made the wrong assumption that files are created once for a given css and removed on its destruction. Due to the dependencies among subsystems, a css may be hidden from userland and then later shown again. This is implemented by removing and re-creating the affected files, so the associated kernfs_node for a given cgroup file may change over time. This incorrect assumption led to the corruption of css->files lists. Reimplement cftype->file_offset handling so that cgroup_file->kn is protected by a lock and updated as files are created and destroyed. This also makes keeping them on per-cgroup list unnecessary.
