cgroup: remove duplicate RCU free on struct cgroup

When destroying a cgroup, though in cgroup_diput() we've called
synchronize_rcu(), we then still have to free it via call_rcu().

The story is, long ago to fix a race between reading /proc/sched_debug
and freeing cgroup, the code was changed to utilize call_rcu(). See
commit a47295e6

 ("cgroups: make
cgroup_path() RCU-safe")

As we've fixed cpu cgroup that cpu_cgroup_offline_css() is used
to unregister a task_group so there won't be concurrent access
to this task_group after synchronize_rcu() in diput(). Now we can
just kfree(cgrp).
