In cgroup_attach_proc, we indirectly call find_existing_css_set 3
times. It is an expensive call so we want to call it a minimum
of times. This patch only calls it once and stores the result so
that it can be used later on when we call cgroup_task_migrate.

This required modifying cgroup_task_migrate to take the new css_set
(which we obtained from find_css_set) as a parameter. The nice side
effect of this is that cgroup_task_migrate is now identical for
cgroup_attach_task and cgroup_attach_proc. It also now returns a
void since it can never fail.

Changes in V5:
* https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/20/344 (Tejun Heo)
  * Remove css_set_refs
Changes in V4:
* https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/12/22/421 (Li Zefan)
  * Avoid GFP_KERNEL (sleep) in rcu_read_lock by getting css_set in
    a separate loop not under an rcu_read_lock
Changes in V3:
* https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/12/22/13 (Li Zefan)
  * Fixed earlier bug by creating a seperate patch to remove tasklist_lock
Changes in V2:
* https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/12/20/372 (Tejun Heo)
  * Move find_css_set call into loop which creates the flex array
* Author
  * Kill css_set_refs and use group_size instead
  * Fix an off-by-one error in counting css_set refs
  * Add a retval check in out_list_teardown
