Subject: [GIT PULL] cgroup fixes for v4.11-rc6

Hello, Linus.

Unfortunately, the commit to fix the cgroup mount race in the previous
pull request can lead to hangs.  The original bug has been around for
a while and isn't too likely to be triggered in usual use cases.
Revert the commit for now.

Thanks.
