On a similar note, I think we probably should re-enable percpu operations on
threadgroup_rwsem too by default and allow users who are affected by slower
write path operations to opt-in. After the new CLONE_INTO_CGROUP which
doesn't need the rwsem, we have far fewer write lockers after all.

Thanks.
