Subject: cgroups: create a workqueue for cgroup
In f90d4118 ("cpuset: fix possible deadlock in
async_rebuild_sched_domains"), cpuset_wq, a separate workqueue for cpuset,
was introduced to avoid a deadlock against cgroup_mutex between
async_rebuild_sched_domains() and cgroup_tasks_write().
But check_for_release() has a similar problem:
check_for_release()
schedule_work(release_agent_work)
cgroup_release_agent()
mutex_lock(&cgroup_mutex)
And I actually see a lockup which seems to be caused by this problem
on 2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64.

Fix this problem by creating cgroup_wq, and make both
async_rebuild_domains() and check_for_release() use it.
