Subject: cgroup: remove rcu_read_lock() from css_get_next()
From: Bharata B Rao <bharata@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Callers of css_get_next() are already calling css_get_next() under
rcu_read_lock() and hence there there is no need for css_get_next() to
re-acquire rcu_read_lock().  As per the comments in css_get_next(), let
the callers accquire the rcu_read_lock().
