cgroup: Fix an RCU warning in cgroup_path()
with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y, a warning can be triggered: # mount -t cgroup -o debug xxx /mnt # cat /proc/$$/cgroup ... kernel/cgroup.c:1649 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection! ... This is a false-positive, because cgroup_path() can be called with either rcu_read_lock() held or cgroup_mutex held. Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
