From: Jing-Ting Wu <Jing-Ting.Wu@mediatek.com>

commit 763f4fb76e24959c370cdaa889b2492ba6175580 upstream.

Root cause:
The rebind_subsystems() is no lock held when move css object from A
list to B list,then let B's head be treated as css node at
list_for_each_entry_rcu().

Solution:
Add grace period before invalidating the removed rstat_css_node.
