[ Upstream commit bc62d68e2a0a69fcdcf28aca8edb01abf306b698 ]
exceptions may be traversed using list_for_each_entry_rcu()
outside of an RCU read side critical section BUT under the
protection of decgroup_mutex. Hence add the corresponding
lockdep expression to fix the following false-positive
warning:
