[RFC PATCH] cgroup: remove redundant cleanup in css_create

From: Wenwei Tao

From: Wenwei Tao <ww.tao0320@xxxxxxxxx>

When create css failed, before call css_free_rcu_fn,
we remove the css id and exit the percpu_ref, but we
will do these again in css_free_work_fn, so they are redundant.
Especially the css id, that would cause problem if we
remove it twice, since it may be assigned to another
css after the first remove.
