cgroup: fix spurious warnings on cgroup_is_dead() from cgroup_sk_alloc()

cgroup_get() expected to be called only on live cgroups and triggers
warning on a dead cgroup; however, cgroup_sk_alloc() may be called
while cloning a socket which is left in an empty and removed cgroup
and thus may legitimately duplicate its reference on a dead cgroup.
This currently triggers the following warning spuriously.

This patch renames the existing cgroup_get() with the dead cgroup
warning to cgroup_get_live() after cgroup_kn_lock_live() and
introduces the new cgroup_get() which doesn't check whether the cgroup
is live or dead.

All existing cgroup_get() users except for cgroup_sk_alloc() are
converted to use cgroup_get_live().
