cgroup: Fix an RCU warning in cgroup_path()

Browse source 
with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y, a warning can be triggered:

  # mount -t cgroup -o debug xxx /mnt
  # cat /proc/$$/cgroup

...
kernel/cgroup.c:1649 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!
...

This is a false-positive, because cgroup_path() can be called
with either rcu_read_lock() held or cgroup_mutex held.
