[PATCH] cgroup: Fix root_count when mount fails due to busy subsystem

cgroup: Fix root_count when mount fails due to busy subsystem

root_count was being incremented in cgroup_get_sb() after all error
checking was complete, but decremented in cgroup_kill_sb(), which can
be called on a superblock that we gave up on due to an error.  This
patch changes cgroup_kill_sb() to only decrement root_count if the
root was previously linked into the list of roots.

I was actually surprised to find that list_del() doesn't crash when
run on an unattached list_head structure.
