I initially thought that driver-core-next was conflicting with
cgroup/for-6.1 but this is simpler. It's a straight forward conflict between
the PSI patchset in the tip tree and changes in cgroup/for-6.1 which are
cleaning up some cftype handling, and the patch that Stephen applied is
correct. So, we can do one of the following two:

1. Leave it as-is. Stephen's patch is correct and we can just let Linus know
   how to resolve it on the pull requests.

2. Pull cgroup/for-6.1 into the tip tree and preemptively resolve the
   conflict there.

I'm leaning towards #1 but #2 is fine too. Peter, what do you wanna do?

Thanks.
