    cgroup: fix race condition around termination check in css_task_iter_next() · d5745675

    css_task_iter_next() checked @it->cur_task before grabbing
    css_set_lock and assumed that the result won't change afterwards;
    however, tasks could leave the cgroup being iterated terminating the
    iterator before css_task_lock is acquired.  If this happens,
    css_task_iter_next() tries to calculate the current task from NULL
    cg_list pointer leading to the following oops.

    Fix it by moving the termination condition check inside css_set_lock.
    @it->cur_task is now cleared after being put and @it->task_pos is
    tested for termination instead of @it->cset_pos as they indicate the
    same condition and @it->task_pos is what's being dereferenced.
