[PATCH v3 4/6] cgroups: forbid pre_destroy callback to fail

[Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxx>]

Now that mem_cgroup_pre_destroy callback doesn't fail (other than a race
with a task attach resp. child group appears) finally we can safely move
on and forbit all the callbacks to fail.
The last missing piece is moving cgroup_call_pre_destroy after
cgroup_clear_css_refs so that css_tryget fails so no new charges for the
memcg can happen.
We cannot, however, move cgroup_call_pre_destroy right after because we
cannot call mem_cgroup_pre_destroy with the cgroup_lock held (see
3fa59dfb cgroup: fix potential deadlock in pre_destroy) so we have to
move it after the lock is released.

Changes since v1
- Li Zefan pointed out that mem_cgroup_pre_destroy cannot be called with
  cgroup_lock held
