Subject: [PATCH cgroup/for-4.3-fixes 2/2] Revert "sched, cgroup: replace
 signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem"

>From 0c986253b939cc14c69d4adbe2b4121bdf4aa220 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org>
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2015 11:51:12 -0400

This reverts commit d59cfc09c32a2ae31f1c3bc2983a0cd79afb3f14.

d59cfc09c32a ("sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with
a global percpu_rwsem") and b5ba75b5fc0e ("cgroup: simplify
threadgroup locking") changed how cgroup synchronizes against task
fork and exits so that it uses global percpu_rwsem instead of
per-process rwsem; unfortunately, the write [un]lock paths of
percpu_rwsem always involve synchronize_rcu_expedited() which turned
out to be too expensive.

Improvements for percpu_rwsem are scheduled to be merged in the coming
v4.4-rc1 merge window which alleviates this issue.  For now, revert
the two commits to restore per-process rwsem.  They will be re-applied
for the v4.4-rc1 merge window.
