cgroup: make cgroup_addrm_files() clean up after itself on failures
After a file creation failure, cgroup_addrm_files() it didn't remove
the files which had already been created. When cgroup_populate_dir()
is the caller, this is fine as the caller performs cleanup; however,
for other callers, this may leave unactivated dangling files behind.
As kernfs directory removals are recursive, this doesn't lead to
permanent memory leak but it can, for example, fail future attempts to
create those files again.
There's no point in keeping around this sort of subtlety and it gets
in the way of planned updates to file handling. This patch makes
cgroup_addrm_files() clean up after itself on failures.
