[PATCH tip/core/rcu 2/2] rcu: make task_subsys_state() RCU-lockdep checks handle boot-time use

[Paul E. McKenney]

It is apparently legal to invoke task_subsys_state() without RCU protection
during early boot time.  After all, there are no concurrent tasks, so there
can be no grace periods completing concurrently.

But this does need an Acked-by from the cgroups folks.
