cgroups: move cgroups destroy() callbacks to cgroup_diput()
Move the calls to the cgroup subsystem destroy() methods from cgroup_rmdir() to cgroup_diput(). This allows control file reads and writes to access their subsystem state without having to be concerned with locking against cgroup destruction - the control file dentry will keep the cgroup and its subsystem state objects alive until the file is closed. The documentation is updated to reflect the changed semantics of destroy(); additionally the locking comments for destroy() and some other methods were clarified and decrustified.
