The earlier commit 4bfc0bb2c60e ("bpf: decouple the lifetime of cgroup_bpf from cgroup itself") introduces an imbalance that call cgroup_bpf_inherit(&root_cgroup) but not call cgroup_bpf_offline(&root_cgroup). But there was no memory leak here.
When the commit 2b0d3d3e4fcf ("percpu_ref: reduce memory footprint of percpu_ref in fast path") applies, some data is allocated for root_cgroup and not released with root_cgroup, and memory leak is observed.
So I add 2 "Fixes tags" here to indicate that 2 commits introduce two different issues.
But it seems that 2 "Fixes tags" is misleading now. So maybe just fix earlier commit 4bfc0bb2c60e which introduces imbalance?
