Pavel Emelyanov cc9cb219aa devscgroup: relax task to dev_cgroup conversion
Two functions, that need to get a device_cgroup from a task (they are
devcgroup_inode_permission and devcgroup_inode_mknod) make it in a strange
way:

They get a css_set from task, then a subsys_state from css_set, then a
cgroup from the state and then a subsys_state again from the cgroup.
Besides, the devices_subsys_id is read from memory, whilst there's a
enum-ed constant for it.

Optimize this part a bit:
1. Get the subsys_stats form the task and be done - no 2 extra
   dereferences,
2. Use the device_subsys_id constant, not the value from memory
   (i.e. one less dereference).

Found while preparing 2.6.26 OpenVZ port.
