Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: reduce read locked section of
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem during fork
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem is acquired in read mode during process exit
and fork. It is also grabbed in write mode during
__cgroups_proc_write(). I've recently run into a scenario with lots
of memory pressure and OOM and I am beginning to see
systemd

This thread is waiting on the reader of cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem to
exit. The reader itself is under memory pressure and has gone into
reclaim after fork. There are times the reader also ends up waiting on
oom_lock as well.

In the meanwhile, all processes exiting/forking are blocked almost
stalling the system.
This patch moves the threadgroup_change_begin from before
cgroup_fork() to just before cgroup_canfork(). There is no nee to
worry about threadgroup changes till the task is actually added to the
threadgroup. This avoids having to call reclaim with
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem held.
