This is not correct because cgroup_next_descendant_pre expects pos to be
NULL for the first iteration but the way we do iterate (visit the root
first) means that the second iteration will have last_visited != NULL
and if root doesn't have any children the iteration would go unleashed
to to the endless loop. We need something like:
	struct cgroup *prev_cgroup = (last_visited == root) ? NULL 
					: last_visited->css.cgroup;
	next_cgroup = cgroup_next_descendant_pre(prev_cgroup,
				root->css.gtoup);
