sched, cgroup: Use exit hook to avoid use-after-free crash

By not notifying the controller of the on-exit move back to
init_css_set, we fail to move the task out of the previous
cgroup's cfs_rq. This leads to an opportunity for a
cgroup-destroy to come in and free the cgroup (there are no
active tasks left in it after all) to which the not-quite dead
task is still enqueued.
