I do not think this is that hard. You can simply change the return path
on pre_destroy error by BUG_ON in "cgroup: deactivate CSS's and mark
cgroup dead before invoking ->pre_destroy()". There is no chicke&egg
problem here because once the group is marked dead and css frozen then
the existing callbacks cannot possibly fail.
Or am I missing your point?
