3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>
commit f169007b2773f285e098cb84c74aac0154d65ff7 upstream.
If we pass fd of memory.usage_in_bytes of cgroup A to cgroup.event_control of cgroup B, then we won't get memory usage notification from A but B!
What's worse, if A and B are in different mount hierarchy, we'll end up accessing NULL pointer!
Disallow this kind of invalid usage.
