memcg: update memcg_has_children() to use css_next_child()
Currently, memcg_has_children() and mem_cgroup_hierarchy_write() directly test cgroup->children for list emptiness. It's semantically correct in traditional hierarchies as it actually wants to test for any children dead or alive; however, cgroup->children is not a published field and scheduled to go away. This patch moves out .use_hierarchy test out of memcg_has_children() and updates it to use css_next_child() to test whether there exists any children. With .use_hierarchy test moved out, it can also be used by mem_cgroup_hierarchy_write(). A side note: As .use_hierarchy is going away, it doesn't really matter but I'm not sure about how it's used in __memcg_activate_kmem(). The condition tested by memcg_has_children() is mushy when seen from userland as its result is affected by dead csses which aren't visible from userland. I think the rule would be a lot clearer if we have a dedicated "freshly minted" flag which gets cleared when the first task is migrated into it or the first child is created and then gate activation with that. v2: Added comment noting that testing use_hierarchy is the responsibility of the callers of memcg_has_children() as suggested by Michal Hocko.
