cgroups: fix lock inconsistency in cgroup_clone()
I fixed a bug in cgroup_clone() in Linus' tree in commit 7b574b7
("cgroups: fix a race between cgroup_clone and umount") without noticing
there was a cleanup patch in -mm tree that should be rebased (now commit
104cbd5, "cgroups: use task_lock() for access tsk->cgroups safe in
cgroup_clone()"), thus resulted in lock inconsistency.
