I am considering whether the cgroup framework has a method to fix this
issue, as other subsystems may also have the same underlying problem.
Since the root css will not be released, but the css->cgrp will be
released.
<del>First part is already done in
	d23b5c5777158 ("cgroup: Make operations on the cgroup root_list RCU safe")

you need to take RCU read lock and check for NULL, similar to
	9067d90006df0 ("cgroup: Eliminate the need for cgroup_mutex in proc_cgroup_show()")

Does that make sense to you?

A Fixes: tag would be nice, it seems at least
	a79a908fd2b08 ("cgroup: introduce cgroup namespaces")
played some role. (Here the RCU lock is not for cgroup_roots list but to
preserve the root cgrp itself css_free_rwork_fn/cgroup_destroy_root.

Thank you, Michal, that is a good idea. Do you mean as below?

diff --git a/kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c b/kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c

That should work. However, I would suggest that you take task_get_css() and css_put() outside of the critical section. The task_get_css() is a while loop that may take a while to execute and you don't want run it with interrupt disabled.
