Tejun Heo 96d365e0b8 cgroup: make css_set_lock a rwsem and rename it to css_set_rwsem
Currently there are two ways to walk tasks of a cgroup -
css_task_iter_start/next/end() and css_scan_tasks().  The latter
builds on the former but allows blocking while iterating.
Unfortunately, the way css_scan_tasks() is implemented is rather
nasty, it uses a priority heap of pointers to extract some number of
tasks in task creation order and loops over them invoking the callback
and repeats that until it reaches the end.  It requires either
preallocated heap or may fail under memory pressure, while unlikely to
be problematic, the complexity is O(N^2), and in general just nasty.

We're gonna convert all css_scan_users() to
css_task_iter_start/next/end() and remove css_scan_users().  As
css_scan_tasks() users may block, let's convert css_set_lock to a
rwsem so that tasks can block during css_task_iter_*() is in progress.

While this does increase the chance of possible deadlock scenarios,
given the current usage, the probability is relatively low, and even
if that happens, the right thing to do is updating the iteration in
the similar way to css iterators so that it can handle blocking.

Most conversions are trivial; however, task_cgroup_path() now expects
to be called with css_set_rwsem locked instead of locking itself.
This is because the function is called with RCU read lock held and
rwsem locking should nest outside RCU read lock.
