cgroup: delay the clearing of cgrp->kn->priv
commit a4189487da1b4f8260c6006b9dc47c3c4107a5ae upstream.
Run these two scripts concurrently:
for ((; ;))
{
mkdir /cgroup/sub
rmdir /cgroup/sub
}
for ((; ;))
{
echo $$ > /cgroup/sub/cgroup.procs
echo $$ > /cgroup/cgroup.procs
}
A kernel bug will be triggered:

We clear cgrp->kn->priv in the end of cgroup_rmdir(), but another
concurrent thread can access kn->priv after the clearing.
We should move the clearing to css_release_work_fn(). At that time
no one is holding reference to the cgroup and no one can gain a new
reference to access it.
v2:
- move RCU_INIT_POINTER() into the else block. (Tejun)
- remove the cgroup_parent() check. (Tejun)
- update the comment in css_tryget_online_from_dir().
