blk-cgroup: Fix an RCU warning in blkiocg_create()
with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y, a warning can be triggered: # mount -t cgroup -o blkio xxx /mnt # mkdir /mnt/subgroup ... kernel/cgroup.c:4442 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection! ... To fix this, we avoid caling css_depth() here, which is a bit simpler than the original code.
