cgroup: Protect css->cgroup write under css_set_lock
The writing of css->cgroup associated with the cgroup root in rebind_subsystems() is currently protected only by cgroup_mutex. However, the reading of css->cgroup in both proc_cpuset_show() and proc_cgroup_show() is protected just by css_set_lock. That makes the readers susceptible to racing problems like data tearing or caching. It is also a problem that can be reported by KCSAN. This can be fixed by using READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to access css->cgroup. Alternatively, the writing of css->cgroup can be moved under css_set_lock as well which is done by this patch.
