cgroup: Migrate tasks to the root css when a controller is rebound

cgroup_apply_control_disable() defers kill_css_finish() while a css is
still populated, relying on css_update_populated() to fire the deferred
kill once the populated count reaches zero.

This deadlocks when a controller is rebound out of a hierarchy. Mounting
an implicit_on_dfl controller such as perf_event as a v1 hierarchy steals
it off the default hierarchy, and rebind_subsystems() kills its
per-cgroup csses while they are still populated. The migration run in the
same step keeps the old css for a controller no longer in the hierarchy's
mask, so no task is migrated off the dying csses. Their populated count
never reaches zero, the deferred kill_css_finish() never fires, and the
next cgroup_lock_and_drain_offline() hangs forever under cgroup_mutex.

That migration is already a no-op pass over the rebound subtree. Add
cgroup_rebind_ss_mask so find_existing_css_set() resolves the leaving
controllers to the root css. Their tasks are migrated there, the
per-cgroup csses depopulate, and cgroup_apply_control_disable() kills
them synchronously. The deferral stays correct for the rmdir and
controller-disable paths it was meant for.
