cgroups: add css_tryget()
Add css_tryget(), that obtains a counted reference on a CSS. It is used in situations where the caller has a "weak" reference to the CSS, i.e. one that does not protect the cgroup from removal via a reference count, but would instead be cleaned up by a destroy() callback. css_tryget() will return true on success, or false if the cgroup is being removed. This is similar to Kamezawa Hiroyuki's patch from a week or two ago, but with the difference that in the event of css_tryget() racing with a cgroup_rmdir(), css_tryget() will only return false if the cgroup really does get removed. This implementation is done by biasing css->refcnt, so that a refcnt of 1 means "releasable" and 0 means "released or releasing". In the event of a race, css_tryget() distinguishes between "released" and "releasing" by checking for the CSS_REMOVED flag in css->flags.
