This certainly adds clarity.
But it also adds a little more type-safety - these container_of() calls
can be invoked against *any* struct which has a field called "css".
With your patch, we add a check that the code is indeed using a
cgroup_subsys_state*. A small thing, but it's all good.
I changed the patch title to the more idiomatic "memcg: add
mem_cgroup_from_css() helper" and rewrote the changelog to
: Add a mem_cgroup_from_css() helper to replace open-coded invokations of
: container_of(). To clarify the code and to add a little more type safety.

And with great self-control, I avoided renaming this to
memcg_from_css(). Sigh. I guess all that extra typing has cardio
benefits.
