[BUG] an RCU warning in memcg

From: Li Zefan

with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y, I saw this warning, it's because
css_id() is not under rcu_read_lock().


===================================================
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
---------------------------------------------------
kernel/cgroup.c:4438 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!

other info that might help us debug this:


rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
1 lock held by kswapd0/31:
#0: (swap_lock){+.+.-.}, at: [<c05058bb>] swap_info_get+0x4b/0xd0
