cgroup: fix use-after-free when umounting cgroupfs
Try: # mount -t cgroup xxx /cgroup # mkdir /cgroup/sub && rmdir /cgroup/sub && umount /cgroup And you might see this: ida_remove called for id=1 which is not allocated. It's because cgroup_kill_sb() is called to destroy root->cgroup_ida and free cgrp->root before ida_simple_removed() is called. What's worse is we're accessing cgrp->root while it has been freed.
