Merge branch 'for-4.4-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo: "More change than I'd have liked at this stage. The pids controller and the changes made to cgroup core to support it introduced and revealed several important issues. - Assigning membership to a newly created task and migrating it can race leading to incorrect accounting. Oleg fixed it by widening threadgroup synchronization. It looks like we'll be able to merge it with a different percpu rwsem which is used in fork path making things simpler and cheaper. - The recent change to extend cgroup membership to zombies (so that pid accounting can extend till the pid is actually released) missed pinning the underlying data structures leading to use-after-free. Fixed. - v2 hierarchy was calling subsystem callbacks with the wrong target cgroup_subsys_state based on the incorrect assumption that they share the same target. pids is the first controller affected by this. Subsys callbacks updated so that they can deal with multi-target migrations" * 'for-4.4-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cgroup_pids: don't account for the root cgroup cgroup: fix handling of multi-destination migration from subtree_control enabling cgroup_freezer: simplify propagation of CGROUP_FROZEN clearing in freezer_attach() cgroup: pids: kill pids_fork(), simplify pids_can_fork() and pids_cancel_fork() cgroup: pids: fix race between cgroup_post_fork() and cgroup_migrate() cgroup: make css_set pin its css's to avoid use-afer-free cgroup: fix cftype->file_offset handling
