pids_can_fork() is special in that the css association is guaranteed
to be stable throughout the function and thus doesn't need RCU
protection around task_css access.  When determining the css to charge
the pid, task_css_check() is used to override the RCU sanity check.

While adding a warning message on fork rejection from pids limit,
135b8b37bd91 ("cgroup: Add pids controller event when fork fails
because of pid limit") incorrectly added a task_css access which is
neither RCU protected or explicitly annotated.  This triggers the
following suspicious RCU usage warning when RCU debugging is enabled.

There's no reason to dereference task_css again here when the
associated css is already available.  Fix it by replacing the
task_cgroup() call with css-&gt;cgroup.

<title>sched/headers, cgroups: Remove the threadgroup_change_*() wrappery</title>

threadgroup_change_begin()/end() is a pointless wrapper around
cgroup_threadgroup_change_begin()/end(), minus a might_sleep()
in the !CONFIG_CGROUPS=y case.

Remove the wrappery, move the might_sleep() (the down_read()
already has a might_sleep() check).

This debloats &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; a bit and simplifies this API.

Update all call sites.

No change in functionality.
