The number of descendant cgroups and the number of dying descendant cgroups are currently synchronized using the cgroup_mutex. The number of descendant cgroups will be required by the cgroup v2 freezer, which will use it to determine if a cgroup is frozen (depending on total number of descendants and number of frozen descendants). It's not always acceptable to grab the cgroup_mutex, especially from quite hot paths (e.g. exit()). To avoid this, let's additionally synchronize these counters using the css_set_lock. So, it's safe to read these counters with either cgroup_mutex or css_set_lock locked, and for changing both locks should be acquired.
