Revert "cgroup: Drop task_lock(parent) on cgroup_fork()"

This reverts commit 7e381b0eb1e1a9805c37335562e8dc02e7d7848c.

The commit incorrectly assumed that fork path always performed
threadgroup_change_begin/end() and depended on that for
synchronization against task exit and cgroup migration paths instead
of explicitly grabbing task_lock().

threadgroup_change is not locked when forking a new process (as
opposed to a new thread in the same process) and even if it were it
wouldn't be effective as different processes use different threadgroup
locks.

Revert the incorrect optimization.
