There is cgroup_get/put pair inside cgroup_bpf_offline.
cgroup_get() is at the beginning of cgroup_bpf_offline.
cgroup_put is called at the routine:
cgroup_bpf_offline
->percpu_ref_kill
-->cgroup_bpf_release_fn
--->cgroup_bpf_release (there is a cgroup_put() at the end of it).
So cgroup_bpf_offline can keep the balance of cgroup's refcount.

OK, I will add description about this in the commit msg.
