Subject: [GIT PULL] cgroup fixes for v4.3-rc2

Hello, Linus.

Another cgroup fix pull.  The cgroup writeback support got
inadvertently enabled for traditional hierarchies revealing two
regressions which are currently being worked on.  It shouldn't have
been enabled on traditional hierarchies, so disable it on them.  This
is enough for making the regressions go away for people who aren't
experimenting with cgroup.

Thanks.
