Subject: [GIT PULL] cgroup changes for v4.18-rc1

Hello, Linus.

cgroup changes for v4.18.

* For cpustat, cgroup has a percpu hierarchical stat mechanism which
  propagates up the hierarchy lazily.  This pull request contains
  commits to factor out and generalize the mechanism so that it can be
  used for other cgroup stats too.  The original intention was to
  update memcg stats to use it but memcg went for a different
  approach, so still the only user is cpustat.  The factoring out and
  generalization still make sense and it's likely that this can be
  used for other purposes in the future.

* cgroup uses file modified events to notify certain events.  A rate
  limiting mechanism is added.

* Other misc changes.

Thanks.
