Tejun Heo 3bf4bf5406 cgroup: Fix threadgroup_rwsem <-> cpus_read_lock() deadlock
[ Upstream commit 4f7e723643 ]

Bringing up a CPU may involve creating and destroying tasks which requires
read-locking threadgroup_rwsem, so threadgroup_rwsem nests inside
cpus_read_lock(). However, cpuset's ->attach(), which may be called with
thredagroup_rwsem write-locked, also wants to disable CPU hotplug and
acquires cpus_read_lock(), leading to a deadlock.

Fix it by guaranteeing that ->attach() is always called with CPU hotplug
disabled and removing cpus_read_lock() call from cpuset_attach().
