cgroup: rename ->create/post_create/pre_destroy/destroy() to ->css_alloc/online/offline/free()

Rename cgroup_subsys css lifetime related callbacks to better describe
what their roles are.  Also, update documentation.

-The cgroup system is about to destroy the passed cgroup; the subsystem
-should do any necessary cleanup and free its subsystem state
-object. By the time this method is called, the cgroup has already been
-unlinked from the file system and from the child list of its parent;

-newly-created cgroup if an error occurs after this subsystem's
-create() method has been called for the new cgroup).

-int pre_destroy(struct cgroup *cgrp);
-
-Called before checking the reference count on each subsystem. This may
-be useful for subsystems which have some extra references even if
-there are not tasks in the cgroup. If pre_destroy() returns error code,
-rmdir() will fail with it. From this behavior, pre_destroy() can be
-called multiple times against a cgroup.
+Called after @cgrp successfully completed all allocations and made
+visible to cgroup_for_each_child/descendant_*() iterators. The
+subsystem may choose to fail creation by returning -errno. This

+propagation along the hierarchy. See the comment on

+
+This is the counterpart of css_online() and called iff css_online()
+has succeeded on @cgrp. This signifies the beginning of the end of
+@cgrp. @cgrp is being removed and the subsystem should start dropping
+all references it's holding on @cgrp. When all references are dropped,
+cgroup removal will proceed to the next step - css_free(). After this
+callback, @cgrp should be considered dead to the subsystem.

+The cgroup system is about to free @cgrp; the subsystem should free

+is completely unused; @cgrp->parent is still valid. (Note - can also
