Subject: [PATCH 1/2] cgroup: Fix incorrect warning from cgroup_apply_control_disable()

It was found that the following warning was displayed when remounting
controllers from cgroup v2 to v1:

It was caused by the "WARN_ON_ONCE(percpu_ref_is_dying(&css->refcnt))"
check. It was because the css had not been completely removed from
a previous call to css_kill() by cgroup_apply_control_disable() and
so the warning was triggered when cgroup_apply_control_disable() was
called again soon afterward.

Eliminating this incorrect warning by using percpu_ref_is_dying() as
escape for further action instead.
