[PATCH] cgroups: handle failure of cgroup_populate_dir() at mount/remount

From: Li Zefan
Date: Thu May 21 2009 - 22:59:14 EST


Now we have 'stat' file in both memory and cpuacct subsystems. If we
mount these 2 subsystems with option 'noprefix', the creation of 'stat'
file for cpuacct will fail, but without any notificatin to the user.

With this patch, we fail the mount/remount in this case.
