cgroup: simplify threadgroup locking

Note: This commit was originally committed as b5ba75b5fc0e but got
      reverted by f9f9e7b77614 due to the performance regression from
      the percpu_rwsem write down/up operations added to cgroup task
      migration path.  percpu_rwsem changes which alleviate the
      performance issue are pending for v4.4-rc1 merge window.
      Re-apply.

Now that threadgroup locking is made global, code paths around it can
be simplified.

* lock-verify-unlock-retry dancing removed from __cgroup_procs_write().

* Race protection against de_thread() removed from
  cgroup_update_dfl_csses().
