[PATCH 1/3] cgroup: pids: fix race between cgroup_post_fork() and cgroup_migrate()

[Oleg Nesterov]

If the new child migrates to another cgroup before cgroup_post_fork() calls
subsys->fork(), then both pids_can_attach() and pids_fork() will do the same
pids_uncharge(old_pids) + pids_charge(pids) sequence twice.

Change copy_process() to call threadgroup_change_begin/threadgroup_change_end
unconditionally. percpu_down_read() is cheap and this allows other cleanups,
see the next changes.

Also, this way we can unify cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem and dup_mmap_sem.
