cgroup: make sure a parent css isn't offlined before its children
There are three subsystem callbacks in css shutdown path -
css_offline(), css_released() and css_free(). Except for
css_released(), cgroup core didn't guarantee the order of invocation.
css_offline() or css_free() could be called on a parent css before its
children. This behavior is unexpected and led to bugs in cpu and
memory controller.
This patch updates offline path so that a parent css is never offlined
before its children. Each css keeps online_cnt which reaches zero iff
itself and all its children are offline and offline_css() is invoked
only after online_cnt reaches zero.
This fixes the memory controller bug and allows the fix for cpu
controller.
