If online_css() returns -error, it means cgroup->subsys[ss->subsys_id] == NULL,

Now cgroup_destroy_locked() is called:

        for_each_root_subsys(cgrp->root, ss)
                kill_css(cgroup_css(cgrp, ss));

cgroup_css(cgrp, ss) will return NULL and pass it to kill_css(), which leads
to NULL pointer deref ?

(I'll go through the patchset tomorrow.)
