[39/75] memcg: keep root group unchanged if creation fails

[Greg KH]

3.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Hillf Danton <dhillf@xxxxxxxxx>

commit a41c58a6665cc995e237303b05db42100b71b65e upstream.

If the request is to create non-root group and we fail to meet it, we
should leave the root unchanged.
