Tejun Heo 9311e6c29b cgroup: Fix sleeping from invalid context warning on PREEMPT_RT
cgroup_task_dead() is called from finish_task_switch() which runs with
preemption disabled and doesn't allow scheduling even on PREEMPT_RT. The
function needs to acquire css_set_lock which is a regular spinlock that can
sleep on RT kernels, leading to "sleeping function called from invalid
context" warnings.

css_set_lock is too large in scope to convert to a raw_spinlock. However,
the unlinking operations don't need to run synchronously - they just need
to complete after the task is done running.

On PREEMPT_RT, defer the work through irq_work. While the work doesn't need
to happen immediately, it can't be delayed indefinitely either as the dead
task pins the cgroup and task_struct can be pinned indefinitely. Use the
lazy version of irq_work to allow batching and lower impact while ensuring
timely completion.

v2: Use IRQ_WORK_INIT_LAZY instead of immediate irq_work and add explanation
    for why the work can't be delayed indefinitely (Sebastian Andrzej Siewior).
