Subject: [PATCH 3/8] cgroup: grab cgroup_mutex earlier in cgroup_subtree_control_write()

Move cgroup_lock_live_group() invocation upwards to right below
cgroup_tree_mutex in cgroup_subtree_control_write().  This is to help
the planned locking simplification.

This doesn't make any userland-visible behavioral changes.
