commit 175431635ec09b1d1bba04979b006b99e8305a83 upstream.
cgroup_create_dir() does weird dancing with dentry refcnt. On
success, it gets and then puts it achieving nothing. On failure, it
puts but there isn't no matching get anywhere leading to the following
oops if cgroup_create_file() fails for whatever reason.

Fix it by dropping the unnecessary dget/dput() pair.
