cgroup: split cgroup destruction into two steps



Split cgroup_destroy_locked() into two steps and put the latter half
into cgroup_offline_fn() which is executed from a work item.  The
latter half is responsible for offlining the css's, removing the
cgroup from internal lists, and propagating release notification to
the parent.  The separation is to allow using percpu refcnt for css.

Note that this allows for other cgroup operations to happen between
the first and second halves of destruction, including creating a new
cgroup with the same name.  As the target cgroup is marked DEAD in the
first half and cgroup internals don't care about the names of cgroups,
this should be fine.  A comment explaining this will be added by the
next patch which implements the actual percpu refcnting.

As RCU freeing is guaranteed to happen after the second step of
destruction, we can use the same work item for both.  This patch
renames cgroup->free_work to ->destroy_work and uses it for both
purposes.  INIT_WORK() is now performed right before queueing the work
item.
