cgroup: protect modifications to cgroup_idr with cgroup_mutex
Setup cgroupfs like this:
# mount -t cgroup -o cpuacct xxx /cgroup
# mkdir /cgroup/sub1
# mkdir /cgroup/sub2
Then run these two commands:
# for ((; ;)) { mkdir /cgroup/sub1/tmp && rmdir /mnt/sub1/tmp; } &
# for ((; ;)) { mkdir /cgroup/sub2/tmp && rmdir /mnt/sub2/tmp; } &
After seconds you may see this warning:

It's because allocating/removing cgroup ID is not properly synchronized.
The bug was introduced when we converted cgroup_ida to cgroup_idr.
While synchronization is already done inside ida_simple_{get,remove}(),
users are responsible for concurrent calls to idr_{alloc,remove}().
tj: Refreshed on top of b58c89986a77 ("cgroup: fix error return from
cgroup_create()").
Fixes: 4e96ee8e981b ("cgroup: convert cgroup_ida to cgroup_idr")
