commit 6b115bf58e6f013ca75e7115aabcbd56c20ff31d upstream.

cgroup_release() calls cgroup_subsys->release() which is used by the
pids controller to uncharge its pid.  We want to use it to manage
iteration of dying tasks which requires putting it before
__unhash_process().  Move cgroup_release() above __exit_signal().
While this makes it uncharge before the pid is freed, pid is RCU freed
anyway and the window is very narrow.
