[PATCH 3.12 75/76] sched: Remove lockdep check in sched_move_task()

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit f7b8a47da17c9ee4998f2ca2018fcc424e953c0e upstream.

sched_move_task() is the only interface to change sched_task_group:
cpu_cgrp_subsys methods and autogroup_move_group() use it.

Everything is synchronized by task_rq_lock(), so cpu_cgroup_attach()
is ordered with other users of sched_move_task(). This means we do no
need RCU here: if we've dereferenced a tg here, the .attach method
hasn't been called for it yet.

Thus, we should pass "true" to task_css_check() to silence lockdep
warnings.

Fixes: eeb61e53ea19 ("sched: Fix race between task_group and sched_task_group")
