Tejun Heo d8742e2290 cgroup: css_set_lock should nest inside tasklist_lock
cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() incorrectly nests non-irq-safe
tasklist_lock inside irq-safe css_set_lock triggering the following
lockdep warning.

  WARNING: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected
  4.17.0-rc1-00027-gb37d049 #6 Not tainted
  --------------------------------------------------------
  systemd/1 just changed the state of lock:
  00000000fe57773b (css_set_lock){..-.}, at: cgroup_free+0xf2/0x12a
  but this lock took another, SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock in the past:
   (tasklist_lock){.+.+}

  and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.

  other info that might help us debug this:
   Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:

	 CPU0                    CPU1
	 ----                    ----
    lock(tasklist_lock);
				 local_irq_disable();
				 lock(css_set_lock);
				 lock(tasklist_lock);
    <Interrupt>
      lock(css_set_lock);

   *** DEADLOCK ***

The condition is highly unlikely to actually happen especially given
that the path is executed only once per boot.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
