Revert "sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem"
This reverts commit d59cfc09c32a2ae31f1c3bc2983a0cd79afb3f14. d59cfc09c32a ("sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem") and b5ba75b5fc0e ("cgroup: simplify threadgroup locking") changed how cgroup synchronizes against task fork and exits so that it uses global percpu_rwsem instead of per-process rwsem; unfortunately, the write [un]lock paths of percpu_rwsem always involve synchronize_rcu_expedited() which turned out to be too expensive. Improvements for percpu_rwsem are scheduled to be merged in the coming v4.4-rc1 merge window which alleviates this issue. For now, revert the two commits to restore per-process rwsem. They will be re-applied for the v4.4-rc1 merge window.
