Group RT scheduler contains protection against setting zero runtime for
cgroup with rt tasks. Right now function tg_set_rt_bandwidth() iterates
over all cpu cgroups and calls tg_has_rt_tasks() for any cgroup which
runtime is zero (not only for changed one). Default rt runtime is zero,
thus tg_has_rt_tasks() will is called for almost at cpu cgroups.

This protection already is slightly racy: runtime limit could be changed
between cpu_cgroup_can_attach() and cpu_cgroup_attach() because changing
cgroup attribute does not lock cgroup_mutex while attach does not lock
rt_constraints_mutex. Changing task scheduler class also races with
changing rt runtime: check in __sched_setscheduler() isn't protected.

Function tg_has_rt_tasks() iterates over all threads in the system.
This gives NR_CGROUPS * NR_TASKS operations under single tasklist_lock
locked for read tg_set_rt_bandwidth(). Any concurrent attempt of locking
tasklist_lock for write (for example fork) will stuck with disabled irqs.

This patch makes two optimizations:
1) Remove locking tasklist_lock and iterate only tasks in cgroup
2) Call tg_has_rt_tasks() iff rt runtime changes from non-zero to zero

All changed code is under CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED.

Testcase:
# mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test{1..10000}
# echo 0 | tee /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test*/cpu.rt_runtime_us

At the same time without patch fork time will be >100ms:
# perf trace -e clone --duration 100 stress-ng --fork 1

Also remote ping will show timings >100ms caused by irq latency.
