cgroup: don't call migration methods if there are no tasks to migrate
Subsystem migration methods shouldn't be called for empty migrations. cgroup_migrate_execute() implements this guarantee by bailing early if there are no source css_sets. This used to be correct before a79a908f ("cgroup: introduce cgroup namespaces"), but no longer since the commit because css_sets can stay pinned without tasks in them. This caused cgroup_migrate_execute() call into cpuset migration methods with an empty cgroup_taskset. cpuset migration methods correctly assume that cgroup_taskset_first() never returns NULL; however, due to the bug, it can, leading to the following oops.

While at it, remove the now spurious check on no source css_sets.
