Subject: cgroup: deadlock between cpu_hotplug_lock and freezer_mutex

Hi

Recently when running some test cases for ceph we hit the following 
deadlock issue in cgroup code. Has this been fixed ? I have checked the 
latest code and it seems no any commit is fixing this.

This call trace could also be found in 
https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/58564#note-4, which is more friendly to 
read.
