cgroup: release cgroup_mutex over file removals
Now that cftypes and all tree modification operations are protected by
cgroup_tree_mutex, we can drop cgroup_mutex while deleting files and
directories. Drop cgroup_mutex over removals.
This doesn't make any noticeable difference now but is to help kernfs
conversion. In kernfs, removals are sync points which drain in-flight
operations as those operations would grab cgroup_mutex, trying to
delete under cgroup_mutex would deadlock. This can be resolved by
just holding the outer cgroup_tree_mutex which nests outside both
kernfs active reference and cgroup_mutex.
