cgroup: remove per-cpu per-subsystem locks

The rstat update side used to insert the cgroup whose stats are updated
in the update tree and the read side flush the update tree to get the
latest uptodate stats. The per-cpu per-subsystem locks were used to
synchronize the update and flush side. However now the update side does
not access update tree but uses per-cpu lockless lists. So there is no
need for locks to synchronize update and flush side. Let's remove them.
