Subject: [GIT PULL] cgroup changes for v5.7-rc1

Hello, Linus.

* Christian extended clone3 so that processes can be spawned into cgroups
  directly. This is not only neat in terms of semantics but also avoids grabbing
  the global cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem for migration.

* Daniel added !root xattr support to cgroupfs. Userland already uses xattrs on
  cgroupfs for bookkeeping. This will allow delegated cgroups to support such
  usages.

* Prateek tried to make cpuset hotplug handling synchronous but that led to
  possible deadlock scenarios. Reverted.

* Other minor changes including release_agent_path handling cleanup.

Thanks.
