Subject[GIT PULL] cgroup fixes for v4.8-rc4
Hello, Linus.

Two fixes for cgroup.

* There still was a hole in enforcing cpuset rules, fixed by Li.

* Recent switch to global percpu_rwseom for threadgroup locking
revealed a couple issues in how percpu_rwsem is implemented and used
by cgroup. Balbir found that the read locking section was too wide
unnecessarily including operations which can often depend on IOs.
With percpu_rwsem updates (coming through a different tree) and
reduction of read locking section, all the reported locking latency
issues, including the android one, are resolved.

It looks like we can keep global percpu_rwsem locking for now. If
there actually are cases which can't be resolved, we can go back to
more complex per-signal_struct locking.

Thanks.
