    ms/cgroup: fix rmdir EBUSY regression in 3.11
    
    commit bb78a92f47696b2da49f2692b6a9fa56d07c444a upstream.
    
    On 3.11-rc we are seeing cgroup directories left behind when they should
    have been removed.  Here's a trivial reproducer:
    
    cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory
    mkdir parent parent/child; rmdir parent/child parent
    rmdir: failed to remove `parent': Device or resource busy
    
    It's because cgroup_destroy_locked() (step 1 of destruction) leaves
    cgroup on parent's children list, letting cgroup_offline_fn() (step 2 of
    destruction) remove it; but step 2 is run by work queue, which may not
    yet have removed the children when parent destruction checks the list.
    
    Fix that by checking through a non-empty list of children: if every one
    of them has already been marked CGRP_DEAD, then it's safe to proceed:
    those children are invisible to userspace, and should not obstruct rmdir.
    
    (I didn't see any reason to keep the cgrp->children checks under the
    unrelated css_set_lock, so moved them out.)
    
    tj: Flattened nested ifs a bit and updated comment so that it's
        correct on both for-3.11-fixes and for-3.12.
