Before the patchset, no.  After the patchset, yes.

Yeah, it can happen anytime but it shouldn't be called from ->create()
or other callbacks which are invoked under cgroup_mutex.  We can
provide an alternative interface or other locking trickery to avoid
this, but I don't think I'll take that path unless there are very
strong rationale.

Thanks.
