commit cee0c33c546a93957a52ae9ab6bebadbee765ec5 upstream.
b636fd38dc40 ("cgroup: Implement css_task_iter_skip()") introduced
css_task_iter_skip() which is used to fix task iterations skipping
dying threadgroup leaders with live threads. Skipping is implemented
as a subportion of full advancing but css_task_iter_next() forgot to
fully advance a skipped iterator before determining the next task to
visit causing it to return invalid task pointers.
Fix it by making css_task_iter_next() fully advance the iterator if it
has been skipped since the previous iteration.
