sched: Fix an RCU warning in print_task()
With CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y, a warning can be triggered: $ cat /proc/sched_debug ... kernel/cgroup.c:1649 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection! ... Both cgroup_path() and task_group() should be called with either rcu_read_lock or cgroup_mutex held. The rcu_dereference_check() does include cgroup_lock_is_held(), so we know that this lock is not held. Therefore, in a CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel, to say nothing of a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT kernel, the original code could have ended up copying a string out of the freelist. This patch inserts RCU read-side primitives needed to prevent this scenario. Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
