My tests tripped over the following RCU lockdep splat:

other info that might help us debug this:

I did a bisect and came across this commit:
Commit eeb61e53ea19 "sched: Fix race between task_group and
sched_task_group".
It added a callback of the fork() method which calls sched_move_task().
But this function does a task_css_check() which expects to have one of
these locks held: cgroup_mutex, css_set_rwsem, or siglock (for this
case), or at least have the task exiting.
By moving the taking of the css_set_rwsem semaphore out to include the
call to ss->fork(), it quiets this warning.

I'm not sure this is the correct fix, but it "works for me".
