Subject: [BUG/RFC] mm/memcg: Possible cgroup migrate/signal deadlock

With CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM and CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING enabled (fedora
rawhide kernel), running a simple podman test tosses a circular
locking dependency warning. The podman container in question simpy
contains the echo command and the libc/ld-linux needed to run it. The
warning can be duplicated with just a single `podman build --network
host --layers=false -t localhost/echo .` command, although the exact
sequence that triggers the warning needs the task state to be changing
the frozen state as well. So, its easier to duplicate with a slightly
longer test case.

I've attempted to trigger the actual deadlock with some standalone
code and been unsuccessful, but looking at the code it appears to be a
legitimate deadlock if a signal is being sent to the process from
another thread while the task is migrating between cgroups.

Attached is a fix which I'm confident fixes the problem, but I'm not
really that confident in the fix since I don't fully understand all
the possible states in the cgroup code. The fix avoids the deadlock by
shifting the objcg->list manipulation to another spinlock and then
using list_del_rcu in obj_cgroup_release.

There is a bit more information in the actual BZ
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2033016 including a shell
script with the podman test/etc.
