locking, rcu, cgroup: Avoid synchronize_sched() in __cgroup_procs_write()

Browse Source 
The current percpu-rwsem read side is entirely free of serializing insns
at the cost of having a synchronize_sched() in the write path.

The latency of the synchronize_sched() is too high for cgroups. The
commit 1ed1328792 talks about the write path being a fairly cold path
but this is not the case for Android which moves task to the foreground
cgroup and back around binder IPC calls from foreground processes to
background processes, so it is significantly hotter than human initiated
operations.

Switch cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem into the slow mode for now to avoid the
problem, hopefully it should not be that slow after another commit:

  80127a3968 ("locking/percpu-rwsem: Optimize readers and reduce global impact").

We could just add rcu_sync_enter() into cgroup_init() but we do not want
another synchronize_sched() at boot time, so this patch adds the new helper
which doesn't block but currently can only be called before the first use.
