cgroup: simplify dynamic cftype addition and removal
Dynamic cftype addition and removal using cgroup_add/rm_cftypes()
respectively has been quite hairy due to vfs i_mutex. As i_mutex
nests outside cgroup_mutex, cgroup_mutex has to be released and
regrabbed on each iteration through the hierarchy complicating the
process. Now that i_mutex is no longer in play, it can be simplified.
* Just holding cgroup_tree_mutex is enough. No need to meddle with
cgroup_mutex.
* No reason to play the unlock - relock - check serial_nr dancing.
Everything can be atomically while holding cgroup_tree_mutex.
* cgroup_cfts_prepare() is replaced with direct locking of
cgroup_tree_mutex.
* cgroup_cfts_commit() no longer fiddles with locking. It just
applies the cftypes change to the existing cgroups in the hierarchy.
Renamed to cgroup_cfts_apply().
