  fork: do not release lock that wasn't taken (2019-05-10 14:26:12 +0200)

I originally intended to send out a pr middle of next week to fix the bug you
reported but syzkaller found another bug that we should fix rather quickly.
Since no rc1 is out for 5.2 and the pidfd patchset had conflicts with Andrew's
tree and the kbuild tree I have simply based the pull request on current
mainline. 

/* Summary */
This pull request fixes two bugs.
The first one reported by Linus whereby the pidfd-metadata binary was not
placed in a .gitignore file.
The second one is rather urgent and fixes a locking issue found by syzkaller.
What happened is that during process creation we need to check whether the
cgroup we are in allows us to fork. To perform this check the cgroup needs to
guard itself against threadgroup changes and takes a lock. Prior to CLONE_PIDFD
the cleanup target "bad_fork_free_pid" would also need to release said lock.
That's not true anymore since CLONE_PIDFD so this is fixed here. Syzkaller has
tested the patch and was not able to reproduce the issue.

Please consider pulling these changes from the signed pidfd-fixes-v5.2-rc1 tag.
