[PATCH 2/3] cgroup: remove cgroup_mutex from cgroupstats_build

[Shakeel Butt <shakeelb@google.com>]

The function cgroupstats_build extracts cgroup from the kernfs_node's
priv pointer which is a RCU pointer. So, there is no need to grab
cgroup_mutex. Just get the reference on the cgroup before using and
remove the cgroup_mutex altogether.
