[PATCH 2/3] memcg: change assign_new_owner() to consider the sub-htreads

[Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

mm_update_next_owner() checks the children and siblings first but
it only inspects the group leaders, and thus this optimization won't
work if the leader is zombie.

This is actually correct, the last for_each_process() loop will find
these children/siblings again, but this doesn't look consistent/clean.

Move the for_each_thread() logic from mm_update_next_owner() to
assign_new_owner(). We can also remove the "struct task_struct *c"
local.

See also the next patch relies on this change.
