cgroup: fix exit() vs rmdir() race



commit 71b5707e upstream.

In cgroup_exit() put_css_set_taskexit() is called without any lock,
which might lead to accessing a freed cgroup:

thread1                           thread2
---------------------------------------------
exit()
  cgroup_exit()
    put_css_set_taskexit()
      atomic_dec(cgrp->count);
                                   rmdir();
      /* not safe !! */
      check_for_release(cgrp);

rcu_read_lock() can be used to make sure the cgroup is alive.
