[PATCH 1/2] mm/memcontrol.c: remove meaningless while loop in mem_cgroup_iter()

[Jianyu Zhan <nasa4836@gmail.com>]

Currently, the iteration job in mem_cgroup_iter() all delegates
to __mem_cgroup_iter_next(), which will skip dead node.

Thus, the outer while loop in mem_cgroup_iter() is meaningless.
It could be proven by this:

1. memcg != NULL
    we are done, no loop needed.
2. memcg == NULL
   2.1 prev != NULL, a round-trip is done, break out, no loop.
   2.2 prev == NULL, this is impossible, since prev==NULL means
       the initial interation, it will returns memcg==root.

So, this patches remove this meaningless while loop.
