sched_ext: Remove redundant css_put() in scx_cgroup_init()
The iterator css_for_each_descendant_pre() walks the cgroup hierarchy
under cgroup_lock(). It does not increment the reference counts on
yielded css structs.
According to the cgroup documentation, css_put() should only be used
to release a reference obtained via css_get() or css_tryget_online().
Since the iterator does not use either of these to acquire a reference,
calling css_put() in the error path of scx_cgroup_init() causes a
refcount underflow.
Remove the unbalanced css_put() to prevent a potential Use-After-Free
(UAF) vulnerability.
Fixes: 8195136 ("sched_ext: Add cgroup support")
