notify_on_release must be triggered when the last process in a cgroup is
move to another. But if the first(and only) process in a cgroup is moved to
another, notify_on_release is not triggered.

        # mkdir /cgroup/cpu/SRC
        # mkdir /cgroup/cpu/DST
        #
        # echo 1 >/cgroup/cpu/SRC/notify_on_release
        # echo 1 >/cgroup/cpu/DST/notify_on_release
        #
        # sleep 300 &
        [1] 8629
        #
        # echo 8629 >/cgroup/cpu/SRC/tasks
        # echo 8629 >/cgroup/cpu/DST/tasks
        -> notify_on_release for /SRC must be triggered at this point,
           but it isn't.

This is because put_css_set() is called before setting CGRP_RELEASABLE
in cgroup_task_migrate(), and is a regression introduce by the
commit:74a1166d(cgroups: make procs file writable), which was merged
into v3.0.
