Please move this where other prototypes are.

So, exposing cgroup_mutex this way can lead to ugly lock dependency
issues as cgroup_mutex is expected to be outside of pretty much
everything.  task_cgroup_path() does it but it has no users (should
prolly removed) and cgroup_attach_task_all() is pretty specific.

Hmmm... cc'ing Li (btw, please cc him and Johannes from the next
posting).  Li, I don't think cset_cgroup_from_root() really needs
cgroup_mutex.  css_set_lock seems to be enough.  What do you think?

Thanks.
