sched/cgroup: Fix/cleanup cgroup teardown/init
The CPU controller hasn't kept up with the various changes in the whole cgroup initialization / destruction sequence, and commit: 2e91fa7f6d45 ("cgroup: keep zombies associated with their original cgroups") caused it to explode. The reason for this is that zombies do not inhibit css_offline() from being called, but do stall css_released(). Now we tear down the cfs_rq structures on css_offline() but zombies can run after that, leading to use-after-free issues. The solution is to move the tear-down to css_released(), which guarantees nobody (including no zombies) is still using our cgroup. Furthermore, a few simple cleanups are possible too. There doesn't appear to be any point to us using css_online() (anymore?) so fold that in css_alloc(). And since cgroup code guarantees an RCU grace period between css_released() and css_free() we can forgo using call_rcu() and free the stuff immediately.
