Yeah, that was my first thought which basically reverts a part of
c03cd7738a83. When I first brought up this issue in the other email
thread, Tejun's comment was "the right thing to do is allowing
destruction of cgroups w/ only
dead processes in it". I assumed, maybe incorrectly, that the desire
here is not to include dying processes into cgroup.procs but to allow
cgroups with dying processes to be deleted.

To be clear, either way is fine with me since both ways solve the
issue and this way the code is definitely simpler. I'll rerun the
tests with your patches just to confirm the issue is gone.
Thanks!
