Revert "cgroup: Remove task_lock() from cgroup_post_fork()"
commit d87838321124061f6c935069d97f37010fa417e6 upstream. This reverts commit 7e3aa30ac8c904a706518b725c451bb486daaae9. The commit incorrectly assumed that fork path always performed threadgroup_change_begin/end() and depended on that for synchronization against task exit and cgroup migration paths instead of explicitly grabbing task_lock(). threadgroup_change is not locked when forking a new process (as opposed to a new thread in the same process) and even if it were it wouldn't be effective as different processes use different threadgroup locks. Revert the incorrect optimization.
