My main purpose of this patch is for memory controller..

This patch adds a handler "pre_destroy" to cgroup_subsys.
It is called before cgroup_rmdir() checks all subsys's refcnt.

I think this is useful for subsys which have some extra refs
even if there are no tasks in cgroup. By adding pre_destroy(),
the kernel keeps the rule "destroy() against subsystem is called only
when refcnt=0." and allows css ref to be used by other objects
than tasks.
