Subject: [PATCH cgroup/for-3.16] cgroup: fix rcu_read_lock() leak in
 update_if_frozen()

While updating cgroup_freezer locking, 68fafb77d827 ("cgroup_freezer:
replace freezer->lock with freezer_mutex") introduced a bug in
update_if_frozen() where it returns with rcu_read_lock() held.  Fix it
by adding rcu_read_unlock() before returning.
