[ Upstream commit 7d7efec3 ] threadgroup_change_begin/end() are used to mark the beginning and end of threadgroup modifying operations to allow code paths which require a threadgroup to stay stable across blocking operations to synchronize against those sections using threadgroup_lock/unlock(). It's currently implemented as a general mechanism in sched.h using per-signal_struct rwsem; however, this never grew non-cgroup use cases and becomes noop if !CONFIG_CGROUPS. It turns out that cgroups is gonna be better served with a different sycnrhonization scheme and is a bit silly to keep cgroups specific details as a general mechanism. What's general here is identifying the places where threadgroups are modified. This patch restructures threadgroup locking so that threadgroup_change_begin/end() become a place where subsystems which need to sycnhronize against threadgroup changes can hook into. cgroup_threadgroup_change_begin/end() which operate on the per-signal_struct rwsem are created and threadgroup_lock/unlock() are moved to cgroup.c and made static. This is pure reorganization which doesn't cause any functional changes.
