From: Aleksa Sarai <cyphar@cyphar.com>

commit a713af394cf382a30dd28a1015cbe572f1b9ca75 upstream.

Because pids->limit can be changed concurrently (but we don't want to
take a lock because it would be needlessly expensive), use atomic64_ts
instead.

Fixes: commit 49b786ea146f ("cgroup: implement the PIDs subsystem")
