cgroups: fix invalid cgrp->dentry before cgroup has been completely removed
This fixes an oops when reading /proc/sched_debug.
A cgroup won't be removed completely until finishing cgroup_diput(), so we
shouldn't invalidate cgrp->dentry in cgroup_rmdir(). Otherwise, when a
group is being removed while cgroup_path() gets called, we may trigger
NULL dereference BUG.
The bug can be reproduced:
# cat test.sh
#!/bin/sh
mount -t cgroup -o cpu xxx /mnt
for (( ; ; ))
{
mkdir /mnt/sub
rmdir /mnt/sub
}
# ./test.sh &
# cat /proc/sched_debug
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000038
