cgroup: always lock threadgroup during migration
Update cgroup to take advantage of the fack that threadgroup_lock() guarantees stable threadgroup. * Lock threadgroup even if the target is a single task. This guarantees that when the target tasks stay stable during migration regardless of the target type. * Remove PF_EXITING early exit optimization from attach_task_by_pid() and check it in cgroup_task_migrate() instead. The optimization was for rather cold path to begin with and PF_EXITING state can be trusted throughout migration by checking it after locking threadgroup. * Don't add PF_EXITING tasks to target task array in cgroup_attach_proc(). This ensures that task migration is performed only for live tasks. * Remove -ESRCH failure path from cgroup_task_migrate(). With the above changes, it's guaranteed to be called only for live tasks. After the changes, only live tasks are migrated and they're guaranteed to stay alive until migration is complete. This removes problems caused by exec and exit racing against cgroup migration including symmetry among cgroup attach methods and different cgroup methods racing each other. v2: Oleg pointed out that one more PF_EXITING check can be removed from cgroup_attach_proc(). Removed.
