cgroup: fix potential deadlock in pre_destroy

As Balbir pointed out, memcg's pre_destroy handler has potential deadlock.

It has following lock sequence.

	cgroup_mutex (cgroup_rmdir)
	    -> pre_destroy -> mem_cgroup_pre_destroy-> force_empty
		-> cpu_hotplug.lock. (lru_add_drain_all->
				      schedule_work->
                                      get_online_cpus)

But, cpuset has following.
	cpu_hotplug.lock (call notifier)
		-> cgroup_mutex. (within notifier)

Then, this lock sequence should be fixed.

Considering how pre_destroy works, it's not necessary to holding
cgroup_mutex() while calling it.

As a side effect, we don't have to wait at this mutex while memcg's
force_empty works.(it can be long when there are tons of pages.)
