device_cgroup: Fix RCU list debugging warning
exceptions may be traversed using list_for_each_entry_rcu() outside of an RCU read side critical section BUT under the protection of decgroup_mutex. Hence add the corresponding lockdep expression to fix the following false-positive warning: [ 2.304417] ============================= [ 2.304418] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage [ 2.304420] 5.5.4-stable #17 Tainted: G E [ 2.304422] ----------------------------- [ 2.304424] security/device_cgroup.c:355 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
