[PATCH cgroup/for-4.15] cgroup: statically initialize init_css_set->dfl_cgrp

[Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>]

Hello,

A follow-up patch to fix sporadic oops during boot which is caused by
trying dereference the default cgroup from accounting code before
cgroup is initialized.

Applied to cgroup/for-4.15.

Thanks.

Like other csets, init_css_set's dfl_cgrp is initialized when the cset
gets linked.  init_css_set gets linked in cgroup_init().  This has
been fine till now but the recently added basic CPU usage accounting
may end up accessing dfl_cgrp of init before cgroup_init() leading to
the following oops.

Fix it by statically initializing init_css_set.dfl_cgrp so that init's
default cgroup is accessible from the get-go.
