cgroup: make css_set pin its css's to avoid use-afer-free
A css_set represents the relationship between a set of tasks and
css's. css_set never pinned the associated css's. This was okay
because tasks used to always disassociate immediately (in RCU sense) -
either a task is moved to a different css_set or exits and never
accesses css_set again.
Unfortunately,
afcf6c8b7544 ("cgroup: add cgroup_subsys->free() method
and use it to fix pids controller") and patches leading up to it made
a zombie hold onto its css_set and deref the associated css's on its
release. Nothing pins the css's after exit and it might have already
been freed leading to use-after-free.

Fix it by making css_set pin the associate css's until its release.
