[PATCH 5/5] cgroup: Defer kill_css_finish() in cgroup_apply_control_disable()

[Tejun Heo]

Same race shape as the rmdir path that 93618edf7538 ("cgroup: Defer css
percpu_ref kill on rmdir until cgroup is depopulated") fixed: a task past
exit_signals() whose cset subsys[ssid] still pins the disabled controller's
css can be touching subsys state while ->css_offline() runs. The earlier
patches in this series built up the per-subsys-css deferral machinery and
routed cgroup_destroy_locked() through it. Apply the same shape to
cgroup_apply_control_disable():

	kill_css_sync(css);
	if (!css_is_populated(css))
		kill_css_finish(css);

When the dying css is still populated, kill_css_finish() is deferred. The
walker in css_update_populated() fires kill_finish_work once the css's
hierarchical populated count drops to zero.

cgroup_lock_and_drain_offline()'s wait predicate switches from
percpu_ref_is_dying() to css_is_dying(). CSS_DYING is set by kill_css_sync()
and is a strict superset of percpu_ref_is_dying. Without this change, a +cpu
re-enable after a deferred -cpu disable would skip the drain (percpu_ref
isn't killed yet) and observe the still-CSS_DYING css through cgroup_css(),
treating it as live.
