cgroups: don't put struct cgroupfs_root protected by RCU
We don't access struct cgroupfs_root in fast path, so we should not put
struct cgroupfs_root protected by RCU
But the comment in struct cgroup_subsys.root confuse us.
struct cgroup_subsys.root is used in these places:
1 find_css_set(): if (ss->root->subsys_list.next == &ss->sibling)
2 rebind_subsystems(): if (ss->root != &rootnode)
rcu_assign_pointer(ss->root, root);
rcu_assign_pointer(subsys[i]->root, &rootnode);
3 cgroup_has_css_refs(): if (ss->root != cgrp->root)
4 cgroup_init_subsys(): ss->root = &rootnode;
5 proc_cgroupstats_show(): ss->name, ss->root->subsys_bits,
ss->root->number_of_cgroups, !ss->disabled);
6 cgroup_clone(): root = subsys->root;
if ((root != subsys->root) ||
All these place we have held cgroup_lock() or we don't dereference to
struct cgroupfs_root. It's means wo don't need RCU when use struct
cgroup_subsys.root, and we should not put struct cgroupfs_root protected
by RCU.
