It's the specific cgroup subsystem that calls free_css_id() in it's subsys->css_free()
callback. See __mem_cgroup_free() for example.
There's a bug in cgroup_unload_subsys() that idr_destroy() should be called after
ss->css_free(). That said, given there's no modular cgroup subsystem using css_id,
and the whole css_id thing will be eliminated in 3.11, why bother fixing it.
