    blk-cgroup: dropping parent refcount after pd_free_fn() is done
    
    [ Upstream commit c7241babf0855d8a6180cd1743ff0ec34de40b4e ]
    
    Some cgroup policies will access parent pd through child pd even
    after pd_offline_fn() is done. If pd_free_fn() for parent is called
    before child, then UAF can be triggered. Hence it's better to guarantee
    the order of pd_free_fn().
    
    Currently refcount of parent blkg is dropped in __blkg_release(), which
    is before pd_free_fn() is called in blkg_free_work_fn() while
    blkg_free_work_fn() is called asynchronously.
    
    This patch make sure pd_free_fn() called from removing cgroup is ordered
    by delaying dropping parent refcount after calling pd_free_fn() for
    child.
    
    BTW, pd_free_fn() will also be called from blkcg_deactivate_policy()
    from deleting device, and following patches will guarantee the order.
