cpuset: fix RCU lockdep splat

5d21cc2db040d01f8c19b8602f6987813e1176b4 ("cpuset: replace
cgroup_mutex locking with cpuset internal locking") incorrectly
converted proc_cpuset_show() from cgroup_lock() to cpuset_mutex.
proc_cpuset_show() is accessing cgroup hierarchy proper to determine
cgroup path which can't be protected by cpuset_mutex.  This triggered
the following RCU warning.

 ===============================
 [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
 3.8.0-rc3-next-20130114-sasha-00016-ga107525-dirty #262 Tainted: G        W
 -------------------------------
 include/linux/cgroup.h:534 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

 other info that might help us debug this:

The operation can be performed under RCU read lock.  Replace
cpuset_mutex locking with RCU read locking.

tj: Rewrote patch description.
