task_subsys_state() is safe under task_lock(). See
Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt for locking rule.

This fixes an RCU warning when resume from suspend. The
warning comes from freezer cgroup in cgroup_freezing_or_frozen().

I'm not sure which is preferable - access ->alloc_lock directly
like this patch or add task_lock_is_held() in sched.h
