Subject: [GIT PULL] cgroup changes for v4.2-rc1

Hello, Linus.

* threadgroup_lock got reorganized so that its users can pick the
  actual locking mechanism to use.  Its only user - cgroups - is
  updated to use a percpu_rwsem instead of per-process rwsem.  This
  makes things a bit lighter on hot paths and allows cgroups to
  perform and fail multi-task (a process) migrations atomically.
  Multi-task migrations are used in several places including the
  unified hierarchy.

* Delegation rule and documentation added to unified hierarchy.  This
  will likely be the last interface update from the cgroup core side
  for unified hierarchy before lifting the devel mask.

* Some groundwork for the pids controller which is scheduled to be
  merged in the coming devel cycle.

Thanks.
