Subject: [PATCH 4.5 38/88] mm: memcontrol: let v2 cgroups follow changes in system swappiness

4.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@...xchg.org>

commit 4550c4e157ca3da929593bb6c64080a59141af35 upstream.

Cgroup2 currently doesn't have a per-cgroup swappiness setting.  We
might want to add one later - that's a different discussion - but until
we do, the cgroups should always follow the system setting.  Otherwise
it will be unchangeably set to whatever the ancestor inherited from the
system setting at the time of cgroup creation.
