cgroup: don't call migration methods if there are no tasks to migrate

Subsystem migration methods shouldn't be called for empty migrations.
cgroup_migrate_execute() implements this guarantee by bailing early if
there are no source css_sets.  This used to be correct before
a79a908fd2b0 ("cgroup: introduce cgroup namespaces"), but no longer
since the commit because css_sets can stay pinned without tasks in
them.

This caused cgroup_migrate_execute() call into cpuset migration
methods with an empty cgroup_taskset.  cpuset migration methods
correctly assume that cgroup_taskset_first() never returns NULL;
however, due to the bug, it can, leading to the following oops.

This patch fixes the bug by adding an explicit nr_tasks counter to
cgroup_taskset and skipping calling the migration methods if the
counter is zero.  While at it, remove the now spurious check on no
source css_sets.
