pids_free double free.

One of my debian boxes got a systemd update. After rebooting,
I started seeing a use-after-free trace, followed by a lockup.

I have two slightly different traces from separate boots,
which may give some clue as to how it's getting free'd in two ways..

This isn't new, I booted back to 4.3, and hit slab debugging warnings
from the same code. (At the least it was broken differently)

The WARN_ON referenced in the 2nd trace is this..

static void pids_cancel(struct pids_cgroup *pids, int num)
{
/*
* A negative count (or overflow for that matter) is invalid,
* and indicates a bug in the `pids` controller proper.
*/
WARN_ON_ONCE(atomic64_add_negative(-num, &pids->counter));
}
