cgroup: check cgroup liveliness before unbreaking kernfs
When cgroup_kn_lock_live() is called through some kernfs operation and
another thread is calling cgroup_rmdir(), we'll trigger the warning in
cgroup_get().

Fix this by calling css_tryget() instead of cgroup_get().
v2:
- move cgroup_tryget() right below cgroup_get() definition. (Tejun)
