when cgroup_post_fork() called, child is seen by find_task_by_vpid(),
so child->cgroups maybe be changed, It'll incorrect.
child->cgroups<old>'s refcnt is decreased
child->cgroups<new>'s refcnt is increased
but child->cg_list is added to child->cgroups<old>'s list.

Yeah, I guess this was a place where I equated "holding css_set_lock"
with "cgroups can't change". But in fact they can partially change.
