memcg: fix css_is_ancestor() RCU locking

Some callers (in memcontrol.c) calls css_is_ancestor() without
rcu_read_lock.  Because css_is_ancestor() has to access RCU protected
data, it should be under rcu_read_lock().

This makes css_is_ancestor() itself does safe access to RCU protected
area.  (At least, "root" can have refcnt==0 if it's not an ancestor of
"child".  So, we need rcu_read_lock().)
