[Devel] [PATCH RH7 v2 1/2] mm/memcontrol: remove excess put of memory cgroup id refcount on css free

[Pavel Tikhomirov]

The removed hunk comes from rhel partial porting of [1], there they
added mem_cgroup_id_put on memcg free instead of offline. But they also
didn't do refcounting in mem_cgroup_id_put, only removed id from idr.

Now we do actual refcounting in mem_cgroup_id_put, and atomic_set(1) and
css_get in mem_cgroup_css_online are paired with mem_cgroup_id_put in
mem_cgroup_css_offline. The call in free path is excess and we should
remove it.

This is not a critical excess refcount put, as it happened on late
cgroup freeing stage, which can only happen after this id refcount
reaches zero, which leads to css_put, which leads to freeing. So nobody
cares about id refcount at this point.
