It is probably my fault. :( I'm looking into this problem.

There are 2 related cleanup patches in -mm:

cgroups-add-inactive-subsystems-to-rootnodesubsys_list.patch (and -fix.patch)
cgroups-introduce-link_css_set-to-remove-duplicate-code.patch (and -fix.patch)

If the bug is reproducable, could you revert the above patches and seee if the
bug is still there.
