Revert "cgroup: simplify threadgroup locking"
commit f9f9e7b776142fb1c0782cade004cc8e0147a199 upstream.
This reverts commit b5ba75b5fc0e8404e2c50cb68f39bb6a53fc916f.
d59cfc09c32a ("sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with
a global percpu_rwsem") and b5ba75b5fc0e ("cgroup: simplify
threadgroup locking") changed how cgroup synchronizes against task
fork and exits so that it uses global percpu_rwsem instead of
per-process rwsem; unfortunately, the write [un]lock paths of
percpu_rwsem always involve synchronize_rcu_expedited() which turned
out to be too expensive.
Improvements for percpu_rwsem are scheduled to be merged in the coming
v4.4-rc1 merge window which alleviates this issue. For now, revert
the two commits to restore per-process rwsem. They will be re-applied
for the v4.4-rc1 merge window.
