[PATCH 2/2] cgroup: check cgroup liveliness before unbreaking kernfs protection

[Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>]

When cgroup_kn_lock_live() is called through some kernfs operation and
another thread is calling cgroup_rmdir(), we may trigger the warning in
cgroup_get().

------------[ cut here ]------------

Fix this by calling css_tryget() instead of cgroup_get().
