Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 18/37] cgroup: Fix compilation issue due to cgroup_mutex not being exported

From: gaoxu <gaoxu2@...or.com>

[ Upstream commit 87c259a7a359e73e6c52c68fcbec79988999b4e6 ]

When adding folio_memcg function call in the zram module for
Android16-6.12, the following error occurs during compilation:
ERROR: modpost: "cgroup_mutex" [../soc-repo/zram.ko] undefined!

This error is caused by the indirect call to lockdep_is_held(&cgroup_mutex)
within folio_memcg. The export setting for cgroup_mutex is controlled by
the CONFIG_PROVE_RCU macro. If CONFIG_LOCKDEP is enabled while
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is not, this compilation error will occur.

To resolve this issue, add a parallel macro CONFIG_LOCKDEP control to
ensure cgroup_mutex is properly exported when needed.
