Subject: [GIT PULL] cgroup fixes for v4.13-rc3

Hello, Linus.

Several cgroup bug fixes.

* cgroup core was calling a migration callback on empty migrations,
  which could make cpuset crash.

* There was a very subtle bug where the controller interface files
  aren't created directly when cgroup2 is mounted.  Because later
  operations create them, this bug didn't get noticed earlier.

* Failed writes to cgroup.subtree_control were incorrectly returning
  0.
