root_count was being incremented in cgroup_get_sb() after all error
checking was complete, but decremented in cgroup_kill_sb(), which can be
called on a superblock that we gave up on due to an error.  This patch
changes cgroup_kill_sb() to only decrement root_count if the root was
previously linked into the list of roots.
