cgroup: fix exit() vs rmdir() race
commit 71b5707e119653039e6e95213f00479668c79b75 upstream.
In cgroup_exit() put_css_set_taskexit() is called without any lock,
which might lead to accessing a freed cgroup:
thread1 thread2
---------------------------------------------
exit()
cgroup_exit()
put_css_set_taskexit()
atomic_dec(cgrp->count);
rmdir();
/* not safe !! */
check_for_release(cgrp);
rcu_read_lock() can be used to make sure the cgroup is alive.
