The reference count in the css_set data structure was used as a
proxy of the number of tasks attached to that css_set. However, that
count is actually not an accurate measure especially with thread mode
support. So a new variable task_count is added to the css_set to keep
track of the actual task count. This new variable is protected by
the css_set_lock. Functions that require the actual task count are
updated to use the new variable.
