cgroup: make sure a parent css isn't freed before its children

There are three subsystem callbacks in css shutdown path -
css_offline(), css_released() and css_free().  Except for
css_released(), cgroup core didn't guarantee the order of invocation.
css_offline() or css_free() could be called on a parent css before its
children.  This behavior is unexpected and led to bugs in cpu and
memory controller.

The previous patch updated ordering for css_offline() which fixes the
cpu controller issue.  While there currently isn't a known bug caused
by misordering of css_free() invocations, let's fix it too for
consistency.

css_free() ordering can be trivially fixed by moving putting of the
parent css below css_free() invocation.
