Subject: [PATCH] Fixes the un-paired cgroup lock problem

In cgroup_lock_live_group, it locks the cgroup by mutex_lock, while in the
cgroup_tasks_write, it unlock it by cgroup_unlock. Even though they are
equal, but I do think we should make it pair.

BTW, should we replace others with cgroup_lock and cgroup_unlock?
Since we already have a wrapper one and it's meaningful.
