Tejun Heo 475261dbbf cgroup: remove incorrect dget/dput() pair in cgroup_create_dir()
commit 175431635e upstream.

cgroup_create_dir() does weird dancing with dentry refcnt.  On
success, it gets and then puts it achieving nothing.  On failure, it
puts but there isn't no matching get anywhere leading to the following
oops if cgroup_create_file() fails for whatever reason.

Fix it by dropping the unnecessary dget/dput() pair.
