[PATCH -next] cgroup: remove offline draining in root destruction to avoid hung_tasks

[Chen Ridong]

From: Chen Ridong <chenridong@xxxxxxxxxx>

A hung task can occur during LTP cgroup testing when repeatedly
mounting/unmounting perf_event and net_prio controllers with
systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=1. The hang manifests in
cgroup_lock_and_drain_offline() during root destruction.

Call Trace:
	cgroup_lock_and_drain_offline+0x14c/0x1e8
	cgroup_destroy_root+0x3c/0x2c0
	css_free_rwork_fn+0x248/0x338
	process_one_work+0x16c/0x3b8
	worker_thread+0x22c/0x3b0
	kthread+0xec/0x100
	ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20

Root Cause:

CPU0                            CPU1
mount perf_event                umount net_prio
cgroup1_get_tree                cgroup_kill_sb
rebind_subsystems               // root destruction enqueues
				// cgroup_destroy_wq
// kill all perf_event css
                                // one perf_event css A is dying
                                // css A offline enqueues cgroup_destroy_wq
                                // root destruction will be executed first
                                css_free_rwork_fn
                                cgroup_destroy_root
                                cgroup_lock_and_drain_offline
                                // some perf descendants are dying
                                // cgroup_destroy_wq max_active = 1
                                // waiting for css A to die

Problem scenario:
1. CPU0 mounts perf_event (rebind_subsystems)
2. CPU1 unmounts net_prio (cgroup_kill_sb), queuing root destruction work
3. A dying perf_event CSS gets queued for offline after root destruction
4. Root destruction waits for offline completion, but offline work is
   blocked behind root destruction in cgroup_destroy_wq (max_active=1)

Solution:
Move cgroup_lock_and_drain_offline() to the start of unmount operations.
This ensures:
1. cgroup_lock_and_drain_offline() will not be called within
   cgroup_destroy_wq context.
2. No new dying csses for the subsystem being unmounted can appear in
   cgrp_dfl_root between unmount start and subsystem rebinding.

Fixes: 334c3679ec4b ("cgroup: reimplement rebind_subsystems() using cgroup_apply_control() and friends")
