[Devel] [PATCH] cpuset: rcu_read_lock() to protect task_cs() even we don't dereference to task_cs()'s return value

[Lai Jiangshan]

task_cs() calls cgroup_subsys_state().

we must use rcu_read_lock() to protect cgroup_subsys_state().

in current_cpuset_is_being_rebound(), we don't dereference to task_cs()'s
return value, but task_cs() accesses css_set, this css_set maybe freed
when task_cs() called.
