Revert "cgroup: use an ordered workqueue for cgroup destruction"
This reverts commit
df33e165a96df2794d7145a28726e51b60278c06.
Explanation from Hugh:
It's because more thorough testing, by others here, found that it
wasn't always solving the problem: so I asked Tejun privately to
hold off from sending it in, until we'd worked out why not.
Most of our testing being on a v3,11-based kernel, it was perfectly
possible that the problem was merely our own e.g. missing Tejun's
3bf7c752e88e ("workqueue: fix ordered workqueues in NUMA setups").
But that turned out not to be enough to fix it either. Then Filipe
pointed out how percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() uses call_rcu_sched()
before we ever get to put the offline on to the workqueue: by the
time we get to the workqueue, the ordering has already been lost.
So, thanks for the Acks, but I'm afraid that this ordered workqueue
solution is just not good enough: we should simply forget that patch
and provide a different answer."
