cgroups: fix cgroup_iter_next() bug

We access res->cgroups without the task_lock(), so res->cgroups may be
changed.  it's unreliable, and "if (l == &res->cgroups->tasks)" may be
false forever.

We don't need add any lock for fixing this bug.  we just access to struct
css_set by struct cg_cgroup_link, not by struct task_struct.

Since we hold css_set_lock, struct cg_cgroup_link is reliable.
