ae7f164a09 ("cgroup: move cgroup->subsys[] assignment to
online_css()") moved cgroup->subsys[] assignements later in
cgroup_create() but didn't update error handling path accordingly
leading to the following oops and leaking later css's after an
online_css() failure. The oops is from cgroup destruction path being
invoked on the partially constructed cgroup which is not ready to
handle empty slots in cgrp->subsys[] array.

This patch moves reference bumping inside online_css() loop, clears
css_ar[] as css's are brought online successfully, and updates
err_destroy path so that either a css is fully online and destroyed by
cgroup_destroy_locked() or the error path frees it. This creates a
duplicate css free logic in the error path but it will be cleaned up
soon.
v2: Li pointed out that cgroup_destroy_locked() would do NULL-deref if
invoked with a cgroup which doesn't have all css's populated.
Update cgroup_destroy_locked() so that it skips NULL css's.
