Subject[GIT PULL] cgroup fixes for v4.4-rc4
Hello, Linus.

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.

Thanks.
