cgroup: fix cftype->file_offset handling

Browse source

6f60eade24 ("cgroup: generalize obtaining the handles of and
notifying cgroup files") introduced cftype->file_offset so that the
handles for per-css file instances can be recorded.  These handles
then can be used, for example, to generate file modified
notifications.

Unfortunately, it made the wrong assumption that files are created
once for a given css and removed on its destruction.  Due to the
dependencies among subsystems, a css may be hidden from userland and
then later shown again.  This is implemented by removing and
re-creating the affected files, so the associated kernfs_node for a
given cgroup file may change over time.  This incorrect assumption led
to the corruption of css->files lists.

Reimplement cftype->file_offset handling so that cgroup_file->kn is
protected by a lock and updated as files are created and destroyed.
This also makes keeping them on per-cgroup list unnecessary.
