Subject: [PATCH] cpuset: current_cpuset_is_being_rebound() need rcu lock

rcu lockdep detected cpuset have wrong rcu usage.
the fixing is trivial. but I wonder why don't cpuset_being_rebound assignment
and read need a memory barrier pairing?


=============== CUT HERE ==========================================
Subject: [PATCH] cpuset: current_cpuset_is_being_rebound() need rcu lock.

Currently, rcu-lockdep display following warning.
because current_cpuset_is_being_rebound() call task_cs(), but it isn't
protected by rcu lock.

This patch fixes it.

===================================================
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
---------------------------------------------------
include/linux/cgroup.h:534 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without
protection!

other info that might help us debug this:

no locks held by swapper/0.
