Subject[PATCH 1/4] cgroup: change locking order in attach_task_by_pid()
Date
From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

cgroup_mutex is updated to nest inside threadgroup_fork_lock instead
of the other way around. threadgroup locking is scheduled to be
updated to cover all threadgroup altering operations and nesting it
inside cgroup_mutex complicates locking dependency unnecessarily.
This also simplifies code a bit.

The ugly "if (threadgroup)" conditionals for threadgroup locking will
soon be removed.
