cgroup: add cgroup_subsys_state->parent
With the planned unified hierarchy, css's (cgroup_subsys_state) will be RCU protected and allowed to be attached and detached dynamically over the course of a cgroup's lifetime. This means that css's will stay accessible after being detached from its cgroup - the matching pointer in cgroup->subsys[] cleared - for ref draining and RCU grace period. cgroup core still wants to guarantee that the parent css is never destroyed before its children and css_parent() always returns the parent regardless of the state of the child css as long as it's accessible. This patch makes css's hold onto their parents and adds css->parent so that the parent css is never detroyed before its children and can be determined without consulting the cgroups. cgroup->dummy_css is also updated to point to the parent dummy_css; however, it doesn't need to worry about object lifetime as the parent cgroup is already pinned by the child.
