cpuset: fix RCU lockdep splat
5d21cc2db040d01f8c19b8602f6987813e1176b4 ("cpuset: replace
cgroup_mutex locking with cpuset internal locking") incorrectly
converted proc_cpuset_show() from cgroup_lock() to cpuset_mutex.
proc_cpuset_show() is accessing cgroup hierarchy proper to determine
cgroup path which can't be protected by cpuset_mutex. This triggered
the following RCU warning.
===============================
[ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
3.8.0-rc3-next-20130114-sasha-00016-ga107525-dirty #262 Tainted: G W
-------------------------------
include/linux/cgroup.h:534 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1

The operation can be performed under RCU read lock. Replace
cpuset_mutex locking with RCU read locking.
