cgroup: Update comments about task exit path

We no longer take cgroup_mutex in cgroup_exit and the exiting tasks are
not moved to init_css_set, reflect that in several comments to prevent
confusion.

* Note that cgroups marked notify_on_release force every task in

* Description: Detach cgroup from @tsk.
*
* We set the exiting tasks cgroup to the root cgroup (top_cgroup). We
* call cgroup_exit() while the task is still competent to handle
* notify_on_release(), then leave the task attached to the root cgroup in
* each hierarchy for the remainder of its exit. No need to bother with
* init_css_set refcnting. init_css_set never goes away and we can't race
* with migration path - PF_EXITING is visible to migration path.
