memcg: fix a race when setting memory.swappiness
(suppose: memcg->use_hierarchy == 0 and memcg->swappiness == 60) echo 10 > /memcg/0/swappiness | mem_cgroup_swappiness_write() | ... | echo 1 > /memcg/0/use_hierarchy | mkdir /mnt/0/1 | sub_memcg->swappiness = 60; memcg->swappiness = 10; | In the above scenario, we end up having 2 different swappiness values in a single hierarchy. We should hold cgroup_lock() when cheking cgrp->children list.
