cgroup: Prevent double killing of css when enabling threaded cgroup
The test_cgcore_no_internal_process_constraint_on_threads selftest when running with subsystem controlling noise triggers two warnings: > [ 597.443115] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 28167 at kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:3131 cgroup_apply_control_enable+0xe0/0x3f0 > [ 597.443413] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 28167 at kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:3177 cgroup_apply_control_disable+0xa6/0x160 Both stem from a call to cgroup_type_write. The first warning was also triggered by syzkaller. When we're switching cgroup to threaded mode shortly after a subsystem was disabled on it, we can see the respective subsystem css dying there. The warning in cgroup_apply_control_enable is harmless in this case since we're not adding new subsys anyway. The warning in cgroup_apply_control_disable indicates an attempt to kill css of recently disabled subsystem repeatedly. The commit prevents these situations by making cgroup_type_write wait for all dying csses to go away before re-applying subtree controls. When at it, the locations of WARN_ON_ONCE calls are moved so that warning is triggered only when we are about to misuse the dying css.
