cgroup: clarify css sibling linkage is protected by cgroup_mutex or RCU

Patch series "Improve mem_cgroup_iter()", v4.

Incremental cgroup iteration is being used again [1]. This patchset
improves the reliability of mem_cgroup_iter(). It also improves
simplicity and code readability.

This patch (of 5):

Explicitly document that css sibling/descendant linkage is protected by
cgroup_mutex or RCU.  Also, document in css_next_descendant_pre() and
similar functions that it isn't necessary to hold a ref on @pos.

The following changes in this patchset rely on this clarification for
simplification in memcg iteration code.
