Subject: [GIT PULL] cgroup fixes for v4.15-rc3

Hello,

* Prateek posted a couple patches to fix a deadlock involving cpuset
  and workqueue.  It unfortunately caused a different deadlock and the
  recent workqueue hotplug simplification removed the original
  deadlock, so Prateek's two patches are reverted for now.

* The new stat code was missing u64_stats initialization.  Fixed.

* Doc and other misc changes.

Thanks.
