cgroup_get() expected to be called only on live cgroups and triggers
warning on a dead cgroup; however, cgroup_sk_alloc() may be called
while cloning a socket which is left in an empty and removed cgroup
and thus may legitimately duplicate its reference on a dead cgroup.
This currently triggers the following warning spuriously.

This patch renames the existing cgroup_get() with the dead cgroup
warning to cgroup_get_live() after cgroup_kn_lock_live() and
introduces the new cgroup_get() which doesn't check whether the cgroup
is live or dead.
All existing cgroup_get() users except for cgroup_sk_alloc() are
converted to use cgroup_get_live().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
