    Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
     "A lot of activities on cgroup side.  Heavy restructuring including
      locking simplification took place to improve the code base and enable
      implementation of the unified hierarchy, which currently exists behind
      a __DEVEL__ mount option.  The core support is mostly complete but
      individual controllers need further work.  To explain the design and
      rationales of the the unified hierarchy
    
            Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt
    
      is added.
    
      Another notable change is css (cgroup_subsys_state - what each
      controller uses to identify and interact with a cgroup) iteration
      update.  This is part of continuing updates on css object lifetime and
      visibility.  cgroup started with reference count draining on removal
      way back and is now reaching a point where csses behave and are
      iterated like normal refcnted objects albeit with some complexities to
      allow distinguishing the state where they're being deleted.  The css
      iteration update isn't taken advantage of yet but is planned to be
      used to simplify memcg significantly"
