cgroup: use cgroup_kn_lock_live() in other cgroup kernfs methods Make __cgroup_procs_write() and cgroup_release_agent_write() use cgroup_kn_lock_live() and cgroup_kn_unlock() instead of cgroup_lock_live_group(). This puts the operations under both cgroup_tree_mutex and cgroup_mutex protection without circular dependency from kernfs active protection. Also, this means that cgroup_mutex is no longer nested below kernfs active protection. There is no longer any place where the two locks interact. This leaves cgroup_lock_live_group() without any user. Removed. This will help simplifying cgroup locking. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>
