@ mount -t cgroup -o devices none /cgroup
@ mkdir /cgroups/devices
@ ls -l /dev/dm-3
 brw-rw----. 1 root disk 253, 3 Oct 14 19:03 /dev/dm-3
@ echo 'b 253:3 rw' > devices.deny
but I can still write it by 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dm-3'

In devcgroup_create(), we create a new whitelist, and add first
entry which type is 'DEV_ALL'. Execute "# echo 'b 253:3 rw' >
devices.deny", dev_whitelist_rm() will update access of first
entry to 1(m), but type of first entry is still 'DEV_ALL'.

Execute dd cmd to write device, __devcgroup_inode_permission()
will be called, permission checking will pass if entry type
is 'DEV_ALL'. So write operation of 'dd' is not denied.

Currently 'access' is updated by not be used, this patch updated
the type,major,minor of first entry, then permission checking
would work.
