I admit I missed the cgroup_threadgroup_change_begin
cgroup_threadgroup_change_end pair in fs fork. In this case it doesn't
matter because mm_init_memcg is called from:
copy_mm
dup_mm
mm_init
And copy_mm is called before we call cgroup_threadgroup_change_begin.
So the race remains.
We could move move cgroup_threadgroup_change_begin earlier, to remove
the need for mem_cgroup_fork. But I have not analyzed that.
