>From my limited knowledge about vfs internal, seems the parent's refcnt won't go down
to 0 before its children. When mkdir, the parent's refcnt will be incremented, and
after rmdir, dput(subdir) will drop subdir's refcnt and then drop parent's.

So when dropping the subdir's refcnt and leading the superblock to be killed, the root's
dentry is still > 0.

I can reproduce the bug reliably.. Try s/cpu/perf or s/cpu/net_cls, which have fewer
cgroup files?
