It's not safe to use the cgroup returned by cgroup_get_next() outside rcu lock.

---------------------------------------------
cgroup_rmdir()
  (check refcnt == 0)
			rcu_read_lock();
			cgrp = cgroup_get_next()
			(inc refcnt)
			rcu_read_unlock();
  cgroup_id_detach()
cgroup_diput();
  kfree(cgrp);
			use cgrp
---------------------------------------------

I think the safe way is:

rcu_read_lock();
cgrp = cgroup_get_next()
if (!inc_not_zero(cgrp) {
	rcu_read_unlock();
	return NULL;
}
rcu_read_unlock();
return cgrp;

But it's also safe to use cgrp = list_entry(&parent->children.next) for the above
scenario, seems you don't have to invent this cgroup_get_next().
