cgroup: fix potential deadlock in pre_destroy
As Balbir pointed out, memcg's pre_destroy handler has potential deadlock. It has following lock sequence. cgroup_mutex (cgroup_rmdir) -> pre_destroy -> mem_cgroup_pre_destroy-> force_empty -> cpu_hotplug.lock. (lru_add_drain_all-> schedule_work-> get_online_cpus) But, cpuset has following. cpu_hotplug.lock (call notifier) -> cgroup_mutex. (within notifier) Then, this lock sequence should be fixed. Considering how pre_destroy works, it's not necessary to holding cgroup_mutex() while calling it. As a side effect, we don't have to wait at this mutex while memcg's force_empty works.(it can be long when there are tons of pages.)
