Subject: [RFC][PATCH 8/9 v2] cgroup: avoid creating new cgroup under a cgroup
 being destroyed

When ->pre_destroy() is called, it should be guaranteed that
new child cgroup is not created under a cgroup, where pre_destroy()
is running. If not, ->pre_destroy() must check children and
return -EBUSY, which causes warning.
