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.
