cgroup: css_set_lock should nest inside tasklist_lock
cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() incorrectly nests non-irq-safe
tasklist_lock inside irq-safe css_set_lock triggering the following
lockdep warning.
WARNING: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected
4.17.0-rc1-00027-gb37d049 #6 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------------------
systemd/1 just changed the state of lock:
00000000fe57773b (css_set_lock){..-.}, at: cgroup_free+0xf2/0x12a
but this lock took another, SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock in the past:
(tasklist_lock){.+.+}
and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(tasklist_lock);
local_irq_disable();
lock(css_set_lock);
lock(tasklist_lock);
<Interrupt>
lock(css_set_lock);
*** DEADLOCK ***
The condition is highly unlikely to actually happen especially given
that the path is executed only once per boot.
