memcg: don't register hotcpu notifier from ->css_alloc()
Commit 648bb56d076b ("cgroup: lock cgroup_mutex in cgroup_init_subsys()")
made cgroup_init_subsys() grab cgroup_mutex before invoking
->css_alloc() for the root css. Because memcg registers hotcpu notifier
from ->css_alloc() for the root css, this introduced circular locking
dependency between cgroup_mutex and cpu hotplug.
Fix it by moving hotcpu notifier registration to a subsys initcall.

bash/645 is trying to acquire lock:
