cpuset: fix a locking issue in cpuset_migrate_mm()
commit 4729583006772b9530404bc1bb7c3aa4a10ffd4d upstream.
I can trigger a lockdep warning:
# mount -t cgroup -o cpuset xxx /cgroup
# mkdir /cgroup/cpuset
# mkdir /cgroup/tmp
# echo 0 > /cgroup/tmp/cpuset.cpus
# echo 0 > /cgroup/tmp/cpuset.mems
# echo 1 > /cgroup/tmp/cpuset.memory_migrate
# echo $$ > /cgroup/tmp/tasks

We used to hold cgroup_mutex when calling cpuset_migrate_mm(), but now
we hold cpuset_mutex, which causes task_css() to complain.
This is not a false-positive but a real issue.
Holding cpuset_mutex won't prevent a task from migrating to another
cpuset, and it won't prevent the original task->cgroup from destroying
during this change.
Fixes: 5d21cc2db040 (cpuset: replace cgroup_mutex locking with cpuset internal locking)
