Subject: [GIT PULL] cgroup fixes for v5.2-rc4

Hello,

This pull request has unusually high density of tricky fixes.

* task_get_css() could deadlock when it races against a dying cgroup.

* cgroup.procs didn't list thread group leaders with live threads.
  This could mislead readers to think that a cgroup is empty when it's
  not.  Fixed by making PROCS iterator include dead tasks.  I made a
  couple mistakes making this change and this pull request contains a
  couple follow-up patches.

* When cpusets run out of online cpus, it updates cpusmasks of member
  tasks in bizarre ways.  Joel improved the behavior significantly.

Thanks.
