[PATCH 4/6] cgroup: remove duplicate RCU free on struct cgroup

[Li Zefan]

When destroying cgroup, though in cgroup_diput() we've called
synchronize_rcu(), we then still have to free cgroup via call_rcu().

The story is, long ago to fix a race between reading /proc/sched_debug
and freeing cgroup, the code was changed to utilize call_rcu().

Now we've splitted part of cpu cgroup css_alloc/free to css_online/offline,
which makes the race vanish, and this grants us to remove call_rcu().
