Guard the start/save flags, socket sequence and cgroup/device registries with their existing mutexes. Require atomic accesses to scheduling, clock, ID and user counters.

Guard TaskSet stop and exit bookkeeping, including the creation barrier after WaitExited, and require its read lock for task iteration. Require extMu in the time pause/resume helpers while retaining the stopped-task precondition. Document initialization-only and shared pointer access paths where a uniform field guard would not describe ownership.

r? @shailend-g Could you review Kernel and TaskSet state, iteration and lifecycle contracts?

Focused local Bazel checks passed. Upstream checks have not reported yet.

Guard kernel start/save state, scheduler notifications, socket and
container registries, device gofers and user-counter bookkeeping with
their owner mutexes. Initialize guarded maps and scheduler channels in
short owner-lock sections that end before filesystem callbacks and state
loading; setup and restore still require an unused kernel.

Require atomic access to scheduling, clock, ID and user counters. Guard
TaskSet stop and exit bookkeeping, including the WaitExited creation
barrier, and require its read lock for task iteration. Retain the
stopped-task condition on time pause/resume helpers.

Explain immutable global-init publication, proc's stored atomic pointers
and process-group TaskSet aliases where checklocks cannot follow the
ownership proof. Keep those lifetime and callback constraints explicit
without initializer exemptions or locks spanning restore callbacks.

Closing in favor of consolidated #14345. The expanded replacement commits are prepared locally; the replacement branch has not been pushed yet.
