Most of the destroy functions are only doing very simple things
like freeing memory.
The ones who goes through lists and such, already use its own
locking for those.
* The cgroup itself won't go away until we free it, (after destroy)
* The parent won't go away because we hold a reference count
* There are no more tasks in the cgroup, and the cgroup is declared
dead (cgroup_is_removed() == true)
For the blk-cgroup and the cpusets, I got the impression that the mutex
is still necessary.
For those, I grabbed it from within the destroy function itself.
If the maintainer for those subsystems consider it safe to remove
it, we can discuss it separately.
