I enabled all cgroup subsystems when compiling kernel, and then:
 # mount -t cgroup -o net_cls xxx /mnt
 # mkdir /mnt/0

This showed up immediately:
 BUG: MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES too low!
 turning off the locking correctness validator.

It's caused by the cgroup hierarchy lock:
        for (i = 0; i < CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT; i++) {
                struct cgroup_subsys *ss = subsys[i];
                if (ss->root == root)
                        mutex_lock_nested(&ss->hierarchy_mutex, i);
        }

Now we have 9 cgroup subsystems, and the above 'i' for net_cls is 9, but
MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES is 8.

This patch uses different lockdep keys for different subsystems.
