Subject: [PATCH 11/16] cgroup: move css_set_rwsem locking outside of cgroup_task_migrate()

Instead of repeatedly locking and unlocking css_set_rwsem inside
cgroup_task_migrate(), update cgroup_attach_task() to grab it outside
of the loop and update cgroup_task_migrate() to use
put_css_set_locked().
