cpuset: rcu_read_lock() to protect task_cs()
task_cs() calls task_subsys_state(). We must use rcu_read_lock() to protect cgroup_subsys_state(). It's correct that top_cpuset is never freed, but cgroup_subsys_state() accesses css_set, this css_set maybe freed when task_cs() called. We use use rcu_read_lock() to protect it.
