Subject: cgroup: check task_lock in task_subsys_state()
From: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com>

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().
