Subject: cgroup: hold cgroup_mutex before calling css_offline()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d7eeac1913ff86a17f891cb4b73f03d4b94907d0;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

cgroup: hold cgroup_mutex before calling css_offline()

cpuset no longer nests cgroup_mutex inside cpu_hotplug lock, so
we don't have to release cgroup_mutex before calling css_offline().
