Subject: Revert "memcg: avoid dangling reference count in creation failure"
From: Michal Hocko <[email protected]>
commit fa460c2d37870e0a6f94c70e8b76d05ca11b6db0 upstream.
This reverts commit e4715f01be697a.
mem_cgroup_put is hierarchy aware so mem_cgroup_put(memcg) already drops
an additional reference from all parents so the additional
mem_cgrroup_put(parent) potentially causes use-after-free.
