After the preparation work done in earlier patches, the cgroup_lock can be trivially replaced with a memcg-specific lock. This is an automatic translation in every site the values involved were queried. The sites were values are written, however, used to be naturally called under cgroup_lock. This is the case for instance of the css_online callback. For those, we now need to explicitly add the memcg lock. With this, all the calls to cgroup_lock outside cgroup core are gone.
