cgroup: don't online subsystems before cgroup_name/path() are operational
While refactoring cgroup creation, a5bca2152036 ("cgroup: factor out cgroup_create() out of cgroup_mkdir()") incorrectly onlined subsystems before the new cgroup is associated with it kernfs_node. This is fine for cgroup proper but cgroup_name/path() depend on the associated kernfs_node and if a subsystem makes the new cgroup_subsys_state visible, which they're allowed to after onlining, it can lead to NULL dereference. The current code performs cgroup creation and subsystem onlining in cgroup_create() and cgroup_mkdir() makes the cgroup and subsystems visible afterwards. There's no reason to online the subsystems early and we can simply drop cgroup_apply_control_enable() call from cgroup_create() so that the subsystems are onlined and made visible at the same time.
