cgroup: always use RCU accessors for protected accesses
kernel/cgroup.c still has places where a RCU pointer is set and
accessed directly without going through RCU_INIT_POINTER() or
rcu_dereference_protected(). They're all properly protected accesses
so nothing is broken but it leads to spurious sparse RCU address space
warnings.
Substitute direct accesses with RCU_INIT_POINTER() and
rcu_dereference_protected(). Note that %true is specified as the
extra condition for all derference updates. This isn't ideal as all
it does is suppressing warning without actually policing
synchronization rules; however, most are scheduled to be removed
pretty soon along with css_id itself, so no reason to be more
elaborate.
Combined with the previous changes, this removes all RCU related
sparse warnings from cgroup.
