[PATCH 1/2] sched/cgroup: move sched_online_group() back into css_online()

[Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@yandex-team.ru>]

Commit 2f5177f0fd7e ("sched/cgroup: Fix/cleanup cgroup teardown/init") moved
sched_online_group() from css_online() to css_alloc(). It exposes half-baked
task group into global lists before initializing generic cgroup stuff.

LTP testcase (third in cgroup_regression_test) written for testing
similar race in kernels 2.6.26-2.6.28 easily triggers this oops:

Here task group already linked into global RCU-protected list task_groups
but pointer css->cgroup is still NULL.

This patch reverts this chunk and moves online back to css_online().
