[PATCH 1/9] cgroup: fix css leaks on online_css() failure

[Tejun Heo]

ae7f164a09 ("cgroup: move cgroup->subsys[] assignment to
online_css()") moved cgroup->subsys[] assignements later in
cgroup_create() but didn't update error handling path accordingly
leaking later css's after an online_css() failure.

This patch moves reference bumping inside online_css() loop, clears
css_ar[] as css's are brought online successfully, and updates
err_destroy path so that either a css is fully online and destroyed by
cgroup_destroy_locked() or the error path frees it.  This creates a
duplicate css free logic in the error path but it will be cleaned up
soon.
