Subject: [PATCH 2/2] cgroup: exlclude release rmdir

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@...fujitsu.com>

Paul Menage pointed out that css_get()/put() only for avoiding race with
rmdir() is complicated and these should be treated as it is for.

This adds
   - cgroup_exclude_rmdir() ....prevent rmdir() for a while.
   - cgroup_release_rmdir() ....rerun rmdir() if necessary.
And hides cgroup_wakeup_rmdir_waiter() into kernel/cgroup.c, again.
