cpuset: fix a locking issue in cpuset_migrate_mm() 

I can trigger a lockdep warning:

  # mount -t cgroup -o cpuset xxx /cgroup
  # mkdir /cgroup/cpuset
  # mkdir /cgroup/tmp
  # echo 0 > /cgroup/tmp/cpuset.cpus
  # echo 0 > /cgroup/tmp/cpuset.mems
  # echo 1 > /cgroup/tmp/cpuset.memory_migrate
  # echo $$ > /cgroup/tmp/tasks
  # echo 1 > /cgruop/tmp/cpuset.mems

We used to hold cgroup_mutex when calling cpuset_migrate_mm(), but now
we hold cpuset_mutex, which causes task_css() to complain.

This is not a false-positive but a real issue.

Holding cpuset_mutex won't prevent a task from migrating to another
cpuset, and it won't prevent the original task->cgroup from destroying
during this change.

Fixes: 5d21cc2db0 (cpuset: replace cgroup_mutex locking with cpuset internal locking)
