Re: [RFC PATCH 2/3] cgroup: Rely on namespace_sem in current_cgns_cgroup_from_root explicitly

The function current_cgns_cgroup_from_root() expects a stable
cgroup_root, which is currently ensured with RCU read side paired with
cgroup_destroy_root() called after RCU period.

The particular current_cgns_cgroup_from_root() is called from VFS code
and cgroup_root stability can be also ensured by namespace_sem. Mark it
explicitly as a preparation for further rework.

I don't think fs/namespace.o and kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o can't be built 
into a kernel module. I doubt we need to export it.

It will be easier if you just use lockdep_is_held() without the 2nd argment.
