A cgroup containing only dying tasks will be seen as empty when a userspace process reads its cgroup.procs or cgroup.tasks files. It should be safe to delete such a cgroup as it is considered empty. However if one of the dying tasks did not reach cgroup_exit then an attempt to delete the cgroup will fail with EBUSY because cgroup_is_populated() will not consider it empty until all tasks reach cgroup_exit. Such a condition can be triggered when a task consumes large amounts of memory and spends enough time in exit_mm to create delay between the moment it is flagged as PF_EXITING and the moment it reaches cgroup_exit. Fix this by detecting cgroups containing only dying tasks during cgroup destruction and proceeding with it while postponing the final step of releasing the last reference until the last task reaches cgroup_exit.
