cgroup->dentry is marked and used as a RCU pointer; however, it isn't one - the final dentry put doesn't go through call_rcu(). cgroup and dentry share the same RCU freeing rule via synchronize_rcu() in cgroup_diput() (kfree_rcu() used on cgrp is unnecessary). If cgrp is accessible under RCU read lock, so is its dentry and dereferencing cgrp->dentry doesn't need any further RCU protection or annotation. While not being accurate, before the previous patch, the RCU accessors served a purpose as memory barriers - cgroup->dentry used to be assigned after the cgroup was made visible to cgroup_path(), so the assignment and dereferencing in cgroup_path() needed the memory barrier pair. Now that list_add_tail_rcu() happens after cgroup->dentry is assigned, this no longer is necessary. Remove the now unnecessary and misleading RCU annotations from cgroup->dentry. To make up for the removal of rcu_dereference_check() in cgroup_path(), add an explicit rcu_lockdep_assert(), which asserts the dereference rule of @cgrp, not cgrp->dentry.
