cgroup: fix RCU accesses to task->cgroups
commit 14611e51a57df10240817d8ada510842faf0ec51 upstream.
task->cgroups is a RCU pointer pointing to struct css_set. A task
switches to a different css_set on cgroup migration but a css_set
doesn't change once created and its pointers to cgroup_subsys_states
aren't RCU protected.
task_subsys_state[_check]() is the macro to acquire css given a task
and subsys_id pair. It RCU-dereferences task->cgroups->subsys[] not
task->cgroups, so the RCU pointer task->cgroups ends up being
dereferenced without read_barrier_depends() after it. It's broken.
Fix it by introducing task_css_set[_check]() which does
RCU-dereference on task->cgroups. task_subsys_state[_check]() is
reimplemented to directly dereference ->subsys[] of the css_set
returned from task_css_set[_check]().
This removes some of sparse RCU warnings in cgroup.
v2: Fixed unbalanced parenthsis and there's no need to use
rcu_dereference_raw() when !CONFIG_PROVE_RCU. Both spotted by Li.
