I actually got errors from cgroup_addrm_files() complaining about
creating existing sysfs files because of the css_populate_dir() call
when the css was dying but not gone yet. I added code in the patch just
to sidestep that. Maybe I should just force the call to css_create()
when the old one is dying to see if that will work out.
