[PATCH-cgroup] cgroup: Move rcu_head up near the top of cgroup_root

[Waiman Long]

Commit d23b5c577715 ("cgroup: Make operations on the cgroup root_list RCU
safe") adds a new rcu_head to the cgroup_root structure and kvfree_rcu()
for freeing the cgroup_root.

The use of kvfree_rcu(), however, has the limitation that the offset of
the rcu_head structure within the larger data structure cannot exceed
4096 or the compilation will fail. By putting rcu_head below the cgroup
structure, any change to the cgroup structure that makes it larger has
the risk of build failure. Commit 77070eeb8821 ("cgroup: Avoid false
cacheline sharing of read mostly rstat_cpu") happens to be the commit
that breaks it even though it is not its fault. Fix it by moving the
rcu_head structure up before the cgroup structure.
