[patch] mm, memcg: don't take task_lock in task_in_mem_cgroup

[David Rientjes]

For processes that have detached their mm's, task_in_mem_cgroup()
unnecessarily takes task_lock() when rcu_read_lock() is all that is
necessary to call mem_cgroup_from_task().

While we're here, switch task_in_mem_cgroup() to return bool.
