Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the cgroup tree with Linus' tree

Hi Tejun,

Today's linux-next merge of the cgroup tree got a conflict in
mm/memcontrol.c between commit 6f6acb00514c ("memcg: fix swapcache
charge from kernel thread context") from Linus' tree and commit
ec903c0c858e ("cgroup: rename css_tryget*() to css_tryget_online*()")
from the cgroup tree.

I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary (no action
is required).

Cheers,
