cgroup: deactivate CSS's and mark cgroup dead before invoking ->pre_destroy()

Because ->pre_destroy() could fail and can't be called under
cgroup_mutex, cgroup destruction did something very ugly.

  1. Grab cgroup_mutex and verify it can be destroyed; fail otherwise.

  2. Release cgroup_mutex and call ->pre_destroy().

  3. Re-grab cgroup_mutex and verify it can still be destroyed; fail
     otherwise.

  4. Continue destroying.

In addition to being ugly, it has been always broken in various ways.
For example, memcg ->pre_destroy() expects the cgroup to be inactive
after it's done but tasks can be attached and detached between #2 and
#3 and the conditions that memcg verified in ->pre_destroy() might no
longer hold by the time control reaches #3.

Now that ->pre_destroy() is no longer allowed to fail.  We can switch
to the following.

  1. Grab cgroup_mutex and verify it can be destroyed; fail otherwise.

  2. Deactivate CSS's and mark the cgroup removed thus preventing any
     further operations which can invalidate the verification from #1.

  3. Release cgroup_mutex and call ->pre_destroy().

  4. Re-grab cgroup_mutex and continue destroying.

After this change, controllers can safely assume that ->pre_destroy()
will only be called only once for a given cgroup and, once
->pre_destroy() is called, the cgroup will stay dormant till it's
destroyed.

This removes the only reason ->pre_destroy() can fail - new task being
attached or child cgroup being created inbetween.  Error out path is
removed and ->pre_destroy() invocation is open coded in
cgroup_rmdir().

v2: cgroup_call_pre_destroy() removal moved to this patch per Michal.
    Commit message updated per Glauber.
