I've do some test with this change, here is the test result:


Without this change, nr_dying_descendants is increased and the cgroup is 
leaked:

(Use bash(12151/12322) do some network things, then kill them, the 
nr_dying_descendants is increased.)

(after rmdir test, the nr_dying_descendants is not decreased.)
