There is a small race between copy_process() and sched_fork()
where child->sched_task_group point to an already freed pointer.

parent doing fork()      | someone moving the parent
				to another cgroup
-------------------------------+-------------------------------
copy_process()
    + dup_task_struct()<1>
				parent move to another cgroup,
				and free the old cgroup. <2>
    + sched_fork()
      + __set_task_cpu()<3>
      + task_fork_fair()
        + sched_slice()<4>

In the worst case, this bug can lead to "use-after-free" and
cause panic as shown above,
(1)parent copy its sched_task_group to child at <1>;
(2)someone move the parent to another cgroup and free the old
   cgroup at <2>;
(3)the sched_task_group and cfs_rq that belong to the old cgroup
   will be accessed at <3> and <4>, which cause a panic:

Between cgroup_can_fork() and cgroup_post_fork(), the cgroup
membership and thus sched_task_group can't change. So update
child's sched_task_group at sched_post_fork() and move task_fork()
and __set_task_cpu() (where accees the sched_task_group) from
sched_fork() to sched_post_fork().
