Is this for the merge window or _very_ late fixes for 5.0?

One of the commits doesn't look appropriate for this (very late) stage
of the rc series: "cgroup: saner refcounting for cgroup_root" seems to
be a pure cleanup, and not one that matters for subsequent fixes.

And the string length one looks sane, but not exactly critical.

I'm getting the feeling that this is for the merge window, but wanted to verify.
