[RFC][PATCH 8/9 v2] cgroup: avoid creating new cgroup under a cgroupbeing destroyed

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki]

When ->pre_destroy() is called, it should be guaranteed that
new child cgroup is not created under a cgroup, where pre_destroy()
is running. If not, ->pre_destroy() must check children and
return -EBUSY, which causes warning.
