Subject: [PATCH v2 4.19 0/3] Backport patches to fix threadgroup_rwsem <-> cpus_read_lock() deadlock

I am very sorry. My gcc version is 7.5 and it does not report error.

We have a deadlock problem which can be solved by commit 4f7e7236435ca
("cgroup: Fix threadgroup_rwsem <-> cpus_read_lock() deadlock").
However, it makes lock order of cpus_read_lock and cpuset_mutex
wrong in v4.19. The call sequence is as follows:
cgroup_procs_write()
        cgroup_procs_write_start()
                get_online_cpus(); // cpus_read_lock()
                percpu_down_write(&cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem)
        cgroup_attach_task
                cgroup_migrate
                        cgroup_migrate_execute
                                ss->attach (cpust_attach)
                                        mutex_lock(&cpuset_mutex)
it seems hard to make cpus_read_lock is locked before
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem and cpuset_mutex is locked before
cpus_read_lock unless backport the commit d74b27d63a8beb
("cgroup/cpuset: Change cpuset_rwsem and hotplug lock order")

Changes in v2:
        * Add #include <linux/cpu.h> in kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c to
         avoid some compile error.
        * Exchange get_online_cpus() location in cpuset_attach to
         keep cpu_hotplug_lock->cpuset_mutex order, although it will
          be remove by ("cgroup: Fix threadgroup_rwsem <->
         cpus_read_lock() deadlock")
