cgroups: don't change release_agent when remount failed

Remount can fail in either case:
  - wrong mount options is specified, or option 'noprefix' is changed.
  - a to-be-added subsys is already mounted/active.

When using remount to change 'release_agent', for the above former failure
case, remount will return errno with release_agent unchanged, but for the
latter case, remount will return EBUSY with relase_agent changed, which is
unexpected I think:

 # mount -t cgroup -o cpu xxx /cgrp1
 # mount -t cgroup -o cpuset,release_agent=agent1 yyy /cgrp2
 # cat /cgrp2/release_agent
 agent1
 # mount -t cgroup -o remount,cpuset,noprefix,release_agent=agent2 yyy /cgrp2
 mount: /cgrp2 not mounted already, or bad option
 # cat /cgrp2/release_agent
 agent1     <-- ok
 # mount -t cgroup -o remount,cpu,cpuset,release_agent=agent2 yyy /cgrp2
 mount: /cgrp2 is busy
 # cat /cgrp2/release_agent
 agent2     <-- unexpected!
