cgroup: use an ordered workqueue for cgroup destruction Sometimes the cleanup after memcg hierarchy testing gets stuck in mem_cgroup_reparent_charges(), unable to bring non-kmem usage down to 0. There may turn out to be several causes, but a major cause is this: the workitem to offline parent can get run before workitem to offline child; parent's mem_cgroup_reparent_charges() circles around waiting for the child's pages to be reparented to its lrus, but it's holding cgroup_mutex which prevents the child from reaching its mem_cgroup_reparent_charges(). Just use an ordered workqueue for cgroup_destroy_wq. tj: Committing as the temporary fix until the reverse dependency can be removed from memcg. Comment updated accordingly.
