cgroup: fix invalid rcu dereference 

Commit ad676077a2 ("device_cgroup: convert device_cgroup internally to
policy + exceptions") removed rcu locks which are needed in
task_devcgroup called in this chain:

  devcgroup_inode_mknod OR __devcgroup_inode_permission ->
    __devcgroup_inode_permission ->
      task_devcgroup ->
        task_subsys_state ->
          task_subsys_state_check.

Change the code so that task_devcgroup is safely called with rcu read
lock held.
