cgroup avoid permanent sleep at rmdir
After commit ec64f51545fffbc4cb968f0cea56341a4b07e85a ("cgroup: fix frequent -EBUSY at rmdir"), cgroup's rmdir (especially against memcg) doesn't return -EBUSY by temporary ref counts. That commit expects all refs after pre_destroy() is temporary but...it wasn't. Then, rmdir can wait permanently. This patch tries to fix that and change followings. - set CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag before pre_destroy(). - clear CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag when the subsys finds racy case. if there are sleeping ones, wakes them up. - rmdir() sleeps only when CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag is set.
