cgroup: replace tasklist_lock with rcu_read_lock
We can replace the tasklist_lock in cgroup_attach_proc with an
rcu_read_lock().
Changes in V4:
* https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/12/23/284 (Frederic Weisbecker)
* Minimize size of rcu_read_lock critical section
* Add comment
* https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/12/26/136 (Li Zefan)
* Split into two patches
Changes in V3:
* https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/12/22/419 (Frederic Weisbecker)
* Add an rcu_read_lock to protect against exit
Changes in V2:
* https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/12/22/86 (Tejun Heo)
* Use a goto instead of returning -EAGAIN
