cgroups: more safe tasklist locking in cgroup_attach_proc
Fix unstable tasklist locking in cgroup_attach_proc.
According to this thread - https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/27/243 - RCU is
not sufficient to guarantee the tasklist is stable w.r.t. de_thread and
exit. Taking tasklist_lock for reading, instead of rcu_read_lock, ensures
proper exclusion.
