core: cache last CPU usage counter, before destorying a cgroup

It is useful for clients to be able to read the last CPU usage counter value of
a unit even if the unit is already terminated. Hence, before destroying a
cgroup's cgroup cache the last CPU usage counter and return it if the cgroup is
gone.
