cgroup_freezer: replace freezer->lock with freezer_mutex

After 96d365e ("cgroup: make css_set_lock a rwsem and rename it
to css_set_rwsem"), css task iterators requires sleepable context as
it may block on css_set_rwsem.  I missed that cgroup_freezer was
iterating tasks under IRQ-safe spinlock freezer->lock.  This leads to
errors like the following on freezer state reads and transitions.

freezer->lock used to be used in hot paths but that time is long gone
and there's no reason for the lock to be IRQ-safe spinlock or even
per-cgroup.  In fact, given the fact that a cgroup may contain large
number of tasks, it's not a good idea to iterate over them while
holding IRQ-safe spinlock.

Let's simplify locking by replacing per-cgroup freezer->lock with
global freezer_mutex.  This also makes the comments explaining the
intricacies of policy inheritance and the locking around it as the
states are protected by a common mutex.

The conversion is mostly straight-forward.  The followings are worth
mentioning.

* freezer_css_online() no longer needs double locking.

* freezer_attach() now performs propagation simply while holding
  freezer_mutex.  update_if_frozen() race no longer exists and the
  comment is removed.

* freezer_fork() now tests whether the task is in root cgroup using
  the new task_css_is_root() without doing rcu_read_lock/unlock().  If
  not, it grabs freezer_mutex and performs the operation.

* freezer_read() and freezer_change_state() grab freezer_mutex across
  the whole operation and pin the css while iterating so that each
  descendant processing happens in sleepable context.
