The commit 74e4b956eb1c incorrectly wrapped kernfs_walk_and_get (might_sleep) under css_set_lock (spinlock). css_set_lock is needed by __cset_cgroup_from_root to ensure stable cset->cgrp_links but not for kernfs_walk_and_get. We only need to make sure that the returned root_cgrp won't be freed under us. This is given in the case of global root because it is static (cgrp_dfl_root.cgrp). When the root_cgrp is lower in the hierarchy, it is pinned by cgroup_ns->root_cset (and `current` task cannot switch namespace asynchronously so ns_proxy pins cgroup_ns). Note this reasoning won't hold for root cgroups in v1 hierarchies, therefore create a special-cased helper function just for the default hierarchy.
