But cgroup_mutex is held when someone changes cs->cpus_allowed or doing hotplug,
so I think callback_mutex is not necessary in this case.

I think this patch can't fix this bug, because mems_allowed of tasks in the
top group is set to node_possible_map by default, not when the task is
attached.
I made a new patch at the end of this email to fix it, but I have no machine
to test it now. who can test it for me.
