[ Upstream commit d23b5c577715892c87533b13923306acc6243f93 ]
At present, when we perform operations on the cgroup root_list, we must hold the cgroup_mutex, which is a relatively heavyweight lock. In reality, we can make operations on this list RCU-safe, eliminating the need to hold the cgroup_mutex during traversal. Modifications to the list only occur in the cgroup root setup and destroy paths, which should be infrequent in a production environment. In contrast, traversal may occur frequently. Therefore, making it RCU-safe would be beneficial.
