2ef37d3fe4 ("memcg: Simplify mem_cgroup_force_empty_list error

patch removes __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs and mechanisms to support
it.

* Conditionals dependent on __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs removed.

* ->pre_destroy() now can only fail if a new task is attached or child
  cgroup is created while ->pre_destroy()s are being called.  As the
  condition is checked again after re-acquiring cgroup_mutex
  afterwards, we don't need to take any immediate action on
  ->pre_destroy() failures.  
Well, this is racy because the task can exit until we reach the
re-check. As the result there might still be some pages on the memcg
LRUs left.
As I said in the previous version, I do not see any reason why we
shouldn't just return EBUSY here. I would even skip WARN_ON_ONCE because
it doesn't give us any valueable information. One can trigger that
easily as well.
