sched: Fix sched_fork() access an invalid sched_task_group

hulk inclusion
category: bugfix
bugzilla: 177205, https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I484Y1


CVE: NA

--------------------------------

There is a small race between copy_process() and sched_fork()
where child->sched_task_group point to an already freed pointer.

parent doing fork()      | someone moving the parent
				to another cgroup
-------------------------------+-------------------------------
copy_process()
     + dup_task_struct()<1>
                                parent move to another cgroup,
                                and free the old cgroup. <2>
     + sched_fork()
       + __set_task_cpu()<3>
         + task_fork_fair()
           + sched_slice()<4>

In the worst case, this bug can lead to "use-after-free" and
cause panic as shown above,
(1)parent copy its sched_task_group to child at <1>;
(2)someone move the parent to another cgroup and free the old
   cgroup at <2>;
(3)the sched_task_group and cfs_rq that belong to the old cgroup
   will be accessed at <3> and <4>, which cause a panic:

When a new process is forked, cgroup_post_fork() associates it
with the cgroup of its parent. Therefore this commit move the
__set_task_cpu() and task_fork() that access some cgroup-related
fields(sched_task_group and cfs_rq) to sched_post_fork() and
call sched_post_fork() after cgroup_post_fork().
