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.
