Subject: [V2][PATCH] cgroup: fix memory leak caused by missing cgroup_bpf_offline

From: Quanyang Wang <quanyang.wang@...driver.com>

When enabling CONFIG_CGROUP_BPF, kmemleak can be observed by running
the command as below:

    $mount -t cgroup -o none,name=foo cgroup cgroup/
    $umount cgroup/

unreferenced object 0xc3585c40 (size 64):
  comm "mount", pid 425, jiffies 4294959825 (age 31.990s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):

This is because that since the commit 2b0d3d3e4fcf ("percpu_ref: reduce
memory footprint of percpu_ref in fast path") root_cgrp->bpf.refcnt.data
is allocated by the function percpu_ref_init in cgroup_bpf_inherit which
is called by cgroup_setup_root when mounting, but not freed along with
root_cgrp when umounting. Adding cgroup_bpf_offline which calls
percpu_ref_kill to cgroup_kill_sb can free root_cgrp->bpf.refcnt.data in
umount path.

This patch also fixes the commit 4bfc0bb2c60e ("bpf: decouple the lifetime
of cgroup_bpf from cgroup itself"). A cgroup_bpf_offline is needed to do a
cleanup that frees the resources which are allocated by cgroup_bpf_inherit
in cgroup_setup_root. 

And inside cgroup_bpf_offline, cgroup_get() is at the beginning and
cgroup_put is at the end of cgroup_bpf_release which is called by
cgroup_bpf_offline. So cgroup_bpf_offline can keep the balance of
cgroup's refcount.

Fixes: 2b0d3d3e4fcf ("percpu_ref: reduce memory footprint of percpu_ref in fast path")
Fixes: 4bfc0bb2c60e ("bpf: decouple the lifetime of cgroup_bpf from cgroup itself")

V1 ---> V2:
1. As per Daniel's suggestion, add description to commit msg about the
balance of cgroup's refcount in cgroup_bpf_offline.
2. As per Michal's suggestion, add tag "Fixes: 4bfc0bb2c60e" and add
description about it.
3. Fix indentation on the percpu_ref_is_dying line.
