cgroup: simplify dynamic cftype addition and removal

Dynamic cftype addition and removal using cgroup_add/rm_cftypes()
respectively has been quite hairy due to vfs i_mutex.  As i_mutex
nests outside cgroup_mutex, cgroup_mutex has to be released and
regrabbed on each iteration through the hierarchy complicating the
process.  Now that i_mutex is no longer in play, it can be simplified.

* Just holding cgroup_tree_mutex is enough.  No need to meddle with
  cgroup_mutex.

* No reason to play the unlock - relock - check serial_nr dancing.
  Everything can be atomically while holding cgroup_tree_mutex.

* cgroup_cfts_prepare() is replaced with direct locking of
  cgroup_tree_mutex.

* cgroup_cfts_commit() no longer fiddles with locking.  It just
  applies the cftypes change to the existing cgroups in the hierarchy.
  Renamed to cgroup_cfts_apply().
