cgroup: restructure locking and error handling in cgroup_mount()
cgroup is scheduled to be converted to kernfs. After conversion, cgroup_mount() won't use the sget() machinery for finding out existing super_blocks but instead would do that directly. It'll search the existing cgroupfs_roots for a matching one and create a new one iff a match doesn't exist. To ease such conversion, this patch restructures locking and error handling of the function. cgroup_tree_mutex and cgroup_mutex are grabbed from the get-go and held until return. For now, due to the way vfs locks nest outside cgroup mutexes, the two cgroup mutexes are temporarily dropped across sget() and inode mutex locking, which looks quite ridiculous; however, these will be removed through kernfs conversion and structuring the code this way makes the conversion less painful. The error goto labels are consolidated to two. This looks unwieldy now but the next patch will factor out creation of new root into a separate function with accompanying error handling and it'll look a lot better.
