Subject[PATCH 1/2] cgroups: enhance task_cgroup()

task_cgroup() calls cgroup_subsys_state().
and we must use rcu_read_lock() to protect cgroup_subsys_state().
so we must use rcu_read_lock() to protect task_cgroup().

but it'll not so friendly to caller: the callers of task_cgroup() have
held cgroup_lock(). it means that struct cgroup will not be freed.

So this patch add rcu_read_lock() in task_cgroup() to enhance task_cgroup().
And we do NOT NEED FIX task_cgroup()'s callers, and cgroup_lock()
can protect task_cgroup().
