cgroupns: Close race between cgroup_post_fork and copy_cgroup_ns
In most code paths involving cgroup migration cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem is taken. There are two exceptions: - remove_tasks_in_empty_cpuset calls cgroup_transfer_tasks - vhost_attach_cgroups_work calls cgroup_attach_task_all With cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem held it is guaranteed that cgroup_post_fork and copy_cgroup_ns will reference the same css_set from the process calling fork. Without such an interlock there process after fork could reference one css_set from it's new cgroup namespace and another css_set from task->cgroups, which semantically is nonsensical.
