cgroup: drop task_lock() protection around task->cgroups
For optimization, task_lock() is additionally used to protect
task->cgroups. The optimization is pretty dubious as either
css_set_rwsem is grabbed anyway or PF_EXITING already protects
task->cgroups. It adds only overhead and confusion at this point.
Let's drop task_[un]lock() and update comments accordingly.

919eff28 81877cc3[main] Setsockopt(1 7 80d1000 4) on fd 226 [1:5:1]So, this is from removing task_lock from task_css_set_check() and adding rcu_read_lock() in cpuset_cpus_allowed() should fix it. I'm not sure how much of task_lock() locking we currently have in cpuset is actually necessary tho. Shouldn't we be able to do most with just callback_mutex, if not cpuset_mutex? Li, any ideas? Thanks. -- tejun
