cgroup: fix RCU accesses to task->cgroups
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.
