Subject: [PATCH v2] cgroup: Make rebind_subsystems() disable v2 controllers all at once

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

It was caused by the fact that rebind_subsystem() disables
controllers to be rebound one by one. If more than one disabled
controllers are originally from the default hierarchy, it means that
cgroup_apply_control_disable() will be called multiple times for the
same default hierarchy. A controller may be killed by css_kill() in
the first round. In the second round, the killed controller may not be
completely dead yet leading to the warning.

To avoid this problem, we collect all the ssid's of controllers that
needed to be disabled from the default hierarchy and then disable them
in one go instead of one by one.

Fixes: 334c3679ec4b ("cgroup: reimplement rebind_subsystems() using cgroup_apply_control() and friends")
