      cgroups: fix a race between cgroup_clone and umount · 7b574b7b
      Li Zefan authored
      The race is calling cgroup_clone() while umounting the ns cgroup subsys,
      and thus cgroup_clone() might access invalid cgroup_fs, or kill_sb() is
      called after cgroup_clone() created a new dir in it.
      
      The BUG I triggered is BUG_ON(root->number_of_cgroups != 1);
