cgroup: fix deadlock on cgroup_mutex via drop_parsed_module_refcounts()
eb178d0 ("cgroup: grab cgroup_mutex in
drop_parsed_module_refcounts()") made drop_parsed_module_refcounts()
grab cgroup_mutex to make lockdep assertion in for_each_subsys()
happy. Unfortunately, cgroup_remount() calls the function while
holding cgroup_mutex in its failure path leading to the following
deadlock.
# mount -t cgroup -o remount,memory,blkio cgroup blkio
cgroup: option changes via remount are deprecated (pid=525 comm=mount)

---------------------------------------------
mount/525 is trying to acquire lock:
(cgroup_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8110a3e1>] drop_parsed_module_refcounts+0x21/0xb0
but task is already holding lock:
(cgroup_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8110e4e1>] cgroup_remount+0x51/0x200
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:

lock(cgroup_mutex);
lock(cgroup_mutex);

May be due to missing lock nesting notation

Fix it by moving the drop_parsed_module_refcounts() invocation outside
cgroup_mutex.
