Subject: [BUGFIX] cgroup: create a workqueue for cgroup

In commit:f90d4118, cpuset_wq, a separate workqueue for cpuset, was introduced
to avoid a dead lock against cgroup_mutex between async_rebuild_sched_domains()
and cgroup_tasks_write().

But check_for_release() has a similar problem:

  check_for_release()
    schedule_work(release_agent_work)
      cgroup_release_agent()
        mutex_lock(&cgroup_mutex)

And I actually see a lockup which seems to be caused by this problem
on 2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64.

This patch fixes this problem by creating cgroup_wq, and making both
async_rebuild_domains() and check_for_release() use it.
