Subject: [PATCH] perf/core: fix RCU issues with cgroup monitoring mode


This patch eliminates all known RCU violations detected
by the RCU  checker (PROVE_RCU). The impact code paths
were all related to cgroup mode monitoring and involved
access a task's cgrp.

Patch is relative to tip.git at commit:
	f8e9941 Merge branch 'x86/urgent'
