cgroup: fix invalid controller enable rejections with cgroup namespace 

On the v2 hierarchy, "cgroup.subtree_control" rejects controller
enables if the cgroup has processes in it.  The enforcement of this
logic assumes that the cgroup wouldn't have any css_sets associated
with it if there are no tasks in the cgroup, which is no longer true
since a79a908fd2 ("cgroup: introduce cgroup namespaces").

When a cgroup namespace is created, it pins the css_set of the
creating task to use it as the root css_set of the namespace.  This
extra reference stays as long as the namespace is around and makes
"cgroup.subtree_control" think that the namespace root cgroup is not
empty even when it is and thus reject controller enables.

Fix it by making cgroup_subtree_control() walk and test emptiness of
each css_set instead of testing whether the list_head is empty.

While at it, update the comment of cgroup_task_count() to indicate
that the returned value may be higher than the number of tasks, which
has always been true due to temporary references and doesn't break
anything.
