cgroup: don't recycle cgroup id until all csses' have been destroyed

Hugh reported this bug:

> CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP is broken in 3.13-rc.  Try something like this:

Instead of removing cgroup id right after all the csses have been
offlined, we should do that after csses have been destroyed.

To make sure an invalid css pointer won't be returned after the css
is destroyed, make sure css_from_id() returns NULL in this case.

tj: Updated comment to note planned changes for cgrp->id.
