I can trigger a lockdep warning:

include/linux/cgroup.h:682 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

We used to hold cgroup_mutex when calling cpuset_migrate_mm(), but now
we hold cpuset_mutex, which causes task_css() to complain.
This is not a false-positive but a real issue.
Holding cpuset_mutex won't prevent a task's cpuset from changing, and
it won't prevent the original task->cgroup from destroying during this
change.
Fixes: 5d21cc2db040 (cpuset: replace cgroup_mutex locking with cpuset internal
locking)
