cgroup: check cgroup liveliness before unbreaking kernfs
When cgroup_kn_lock_live() is called through some kernfs operation and another thread is calling cgroup_rmdir(), we'll trigger the warning in cgroup_get(). ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1228 at kernel/cgroup.c:1034 cgroup_get+0x89/0xa0() ...
