Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: fix unbalanced locking

cgroup_pidlist_start() holds cgrp->pidlist_mutex and then calls
pidlist_array_load(), and cgroup_pidlist_stop() releases the mutex.

It is wrong that we release the mutex in the failure path in
pidlist_array_load(), because cgroup_pidlist_stop() will be called
no matter if cgroup_pidlist_start() returns errno or not.
