commit d23b5c5777 upstream.
At present, when we perform operations on the cgroup root_list, we must
hold the cgroup_mutex, which is a relatively heavyweight lock. In reality,
we can make operations on this list RCU-safe, eliminating the need to hold
the cgroup_mutex during traversal. Modifications to the list only occur in
the cgroup root setup and destroy paths, which should be infrequent in a
production environment. In contrast, traversal may occur frequently.
Therefore, making it RCU-safe would be beneficial.
