cgroup: don't online subsystems before cgroup_name/path() are operational

commit 07cd12945551b63ecb1a349d50a6d69d1d6feb4a upstream.

While refactoring cgroup creation, a5bca2152036 ("cgroup: factor out
cgroup_create() out of cgroup_mkdir()") incorrectly onlined subsystems
before the new cgroup is associated with it kernfs_node.  This is fine
for cgroup proper but cgroup_name/path() depend on the associated
kernfs_node and if a subsystem makes the new cgroup_subsys_state
visible, which they're allowed to after onlining, it can lead to NULL
dereference.

The current code performs cgroup creation and subsystem onlining in
cgroup_create() and cgroup_mkdir() makes the cgroup and subsystems
visible afterwards.  There's no reason to online the subsystems early
and we can simply drop cgroup_apply_control_enable() call from
cgroup_create() so that the subsystems are onlined and made visible at
the same time.
