cgroup: add lockless fast-path checks to cgroup_file_notify()
Add lockless checks before acquiring cgroup_file_kn_lock:
1. READ_ONCE(cfile->kn) NULL check to skip torn-down files.
2. READ_ONCE(cfile->notified_at) rate-limit check to skip when
within the notification interval. If within the interval, arm
the deferred timer via timer_reduce() and confirm it is pending
before returning -- if the timer fired in between, fall through
to the lock path so the notification is not lost.
Both checks have safe error directions -- a stale read can only
cause unnecessary lock acquisition, never a missed notification.
The critical section is simplified to just taking a kernfs_get()
reference and updating notified_at.
Annotate cfile->kn and cfile->notified_at write sites with
WRITE_ONCE() to pair with the lockless readers.
