------------------------------------------------------
From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxx>
Subject: Revert "memcg: avoid dangling reference count in creation failure"
This reverts e4715f01be697a.
mem_cgroup_put is hierarchy aware so mem_cgroup_put(memcg) already drops
an additional reference from all parents so the additional
mem_cgrroup_put(parent) potentially causes use-after-free.
