[PATCH 1/1] cgroup: avoid the unnecessary list_add(dying_tasks) in cgroup_exit()

[Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>]

cgroup_exit() needs to do this only if the exiting task is a leader and it
is not the last live thread.  The patch doesn't use delay_group_leader(),
atomic_read(signal->live) matches the code css_task_iter_advance() more.

cgroup_release() can now check list_empty(task->cg_list) before it takes
css_set_lock and calls ss_set_skip_task_iters().
