Subject: [GIT PULL] cgroup fixes for v3.7-rc5

Please pull from the following branch to receive fixes for v3.7-rc5.
It contains two fix patches for device_cgroup.  One fixes a regression
introduced earlier in 3.7 cycle where device_cgroup could try to
dereference the NULL parent of the root cgroup.  The other one is RCU
usage fix.

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup.git for-3.7-fixes

Thanks.
