cgroup: add cgroup_subsys->free() method and use it to fix pids controller
pids controller is completely broken in that it uncharges when a task exits allowing zombies to escape resource control. With the recent updates, cgroup core now maintains cgroup association till task free and pids controller can be fixed by uncharging on free instead of exit. This patch adds cgroup_subsys->free() method and update pids controller to use it instead of ->exit() for uncharging. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Aleksa Sarai <cyphar@cyphar.com>
