cgroup: add cgroup_root_mutex
cgroup wants to make threadgroup stable while modifying cgroup
hierarchies which will introduce locking dependency on
cred_guard_mutex from cgroup_mutex. This unfortunately completes
circular dependency.
A. cgroup_mutex -> cred_guard_mutex -> s_type->i_mutex_key -> namespace_sem
B. namespace_sem -> cgroup_mutex
B is from cgroup_show_options() and this patch breaks it by
introducing another mutex cgroup_root_mutex which nests inside
cgroup_mutex and protects cgroupfs_root.
