 cgroup_exit() callbacks


I made that two patches, like:

Subject: perf: Delete PF_EXITING checks from perf_cgroup_exit() callback
From: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@...n.com>
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2015 15:12:56 +0300

cgroup_exit() is not called from copy_process() after commit:

  e8604cb43690 ("cgroup: fix spurious lockdep warning in cgroup_exit()")

from do_exit(). So this check is useless and the comment is obsolete.
