Subject: [PATCH 1/2] cgroup: replace tasklist_lock with rcu_read_lock
Since cgroup_attach_proc is protected by a threadgroup_lock, we
can replace the tasklist_lock in cgroup_attach_proc with an
rcu_read_lock. To keep the complexity of the double-check locking
in one place, I also moved the thread_group_leader check up into
attach_task_by_pid. This allows us to use a goto instead of
returning -EAGAIN.
While at it, also converted a couple of returns to gotos.
Changes in V3:
* https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/12/22/419 (Frederic Weisbecker)
* Add an rcu_read_lock to protect against exit
Changes in V2:
* https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/12/22/86 (Tejun Heo)
* Use a goto instead of returning -EAGAIN
