Subject: [patch] memcg: disable hierarchy support if bound to the legacy cgroup hierarchy

From: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@...allels.com>

If the memory cgroup controller is initially mounted in the scope of the
default cgroup hierarchy and then remounted to a legacy hierarchy, it
will still have hierarchy support enabled, which is incorrect. We should
disable hierarchy support if bound to the legacy cgroup hierarchy.

Andrew, could you please pick this up for 4.0?  I don't think it's
urgent enough for -stable, though.  Thanks!
