Subject: [GIT UPDATED PULL] cgroup fixes for v3.17-rc6

Hello, Linus.

One late fix for cgroup.  I was waiting for another set of fixes for a
long-standing obscure cpuset bug but am not sure whether they'll be
ready before v3.17 release.  This one is a simple fix for a mutex
unlock balance bug in an allocation failure path in
pidlist_array_load().  The bug was introduced in v3.14 and the fix is
tagged for -stable.

Thanks.
