cgroup: kill CSS_REMOVED

CSS_REMOVED is one of the several contortions which were necessary to
support css reference draining on cgroup removal.  All css->refcnts
which need draining should be deactivated and verified to equal zero
atomically w.r.t. css_tryget().  If any one isn't zero, all refcnts
needed to be re-activated and css_tryget() shouldn't fail in the
process.

This was achieved by letting css_tryget() busy-loop until either the
refcnt is reactivated (failed removal attempt) or CSS_REMOVED is set
(committing to removal).

Now that css refcnt draining is no longer used, there's no need for
atomic rollback mechanism.  css_tryget() simply can look at the
reference count and fail if it's deactivated - it's never getting
re-activated.

This patch removes CSS_REMOVED and updates __css_tryget() to fail if
the refcnt is deactivated.  As deactivation and removal are a single
step now, they no longer need to be protected against css_tryget()
happening from irq context.  Remove local_irq_disable/enable() from
cgroup_rmdir().

Note that this removes css_is_removed() whose only user is VM_BUG_ON()
in memcontrol.c.  We can replace it with a check on the refcnt but
given that the only use case is a debug assert, I think it's better to
simply unexport it.

v2: Comment updated and explanation on local_irq_disable/enable()
    added per Michal Hocko.
