Subject: [PATCH 04/14] cgroup: cgroup_css_from_dir() now should be called with RCU read locked

cgroup->subsys[] will become RCU protected and thus all cgroup_css()
usages should either be under RCU read lock or cgroup_mutex.  This
patch updates cgroup_css_from_dir() which returns the matching
cgroup_subsys_state given a directory file and subsys_id so that it
requires RCU read lock and updates its sole user
perf_cgroup_connect().
