When a task exits, css_set_move_task(tsk, cset, NULL, false) unlinks the task
from its cgroup. From the cgroup's perspective, the task is now gone. If this
makes the cgroup empty, it can be removed, triggering ->css_offline() callbacks
that notify controllers the cgroup is going offline resource-wise.
However, the exiting task can still run, perform memory operations, and schedule
until the final context switch in finish_task_switch(). This creates a confusing
situation where controllers are told a cgroup is offline while resource
activities are still happening in it. While this hasn't broken existing
controllers, it has caused direct confusion for sched_ext schedulers.
Split cgroup_task_exit() into two functions. cgroup_task_exit() now only calls
the subsystem exit callbacks and continues to be called from do_exit(). The
css_set cleanup is moved to the new cgroup_task_dead() which is called from
finish_task_switch() after the final context switch, so that the cgroup only
appears empty after the task is truly done running.
This also reorders operations so that subsys->exit() is now called before
unlinking from the cgroup, which shouldn't break anything.
