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"
