adjust_inuse_and_calc_cost() is responsible for reducing the amount of
donated weights dynamically in period as the budget runs low. Because we
don't want to do full donation calculation in period, we keep latching up
inuse by INUSE_ADJ_STEP_PCT of the active weight of the cgroup until the
resulting hweight_inuse is satisfactory.
Unfortunately, the adj_step calculation was reading the active weight before
acquiring ioc->lock. Because the current thread could have lost race to
activate the iocg to another thread before entering this function, it may
read the active weight as zero before acquiring ioc->lock. When this
happens, the adj_step is calculated as zero and the incremental adjustment
loop becomes an infinite one.
Fix it by fetching the active weight after acquiring ioc->lock.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
