cgroup: remove cgroup_tree_mutex

cgroup_tree_mutex was introduced to work around the circular
dependency between cgroup_mutex and kernfs active protection - some
kernfs file and directory operations needed cgroup_mutex putting
cgroup_mutex under active protection but cgroup also needs to be able
to access cgroup hierarchies and cftypes to determine which
kernfs_nodes need to be removed.  cgroup_tree_mutex nested above both
cgroup_mutex and kernfs active protection and used to protect the
hierarchy and cftypes.  While this worked, it added a lot of double
lockings and was generally cumbersome.

kernfs provides a mechanism to opt out of active protection and cgroup
was already using it for removal and subtree_control.  There's no
reason to mix both methods of avoiding circular locking dependency and
the preceding cgroup_kn_lock_live() changes applied it to all relevant
cgroup kernfs operations making it unnecessary to nest cgroup_mutex
under kernfs active protection.  The previous patch reversed the
original lock ordering and put cgroup_mutex above kernfs active
protection.

After these changes, all cgroup_tree_mutex usages are now accompanied
by cgroup_mutex making the former completely redundant.  This patch
removes cgroup_tree_mutex and all its usages.
