[GIT PULL] more cgroup fixes for v3.15-rc5

[Tejun Heo]

Hello, Linus.

Three more patches to fix cgroup_freezer breakage due to the recent
cgroup internal locking changes - an operation cgroup_freezer was
using now requires sleepable context and cgroup_freezer was invoking
that while holding a spin lock.  cgroup_freezer was using an overly
elaborate hierarchical locking scheme.

While it's possible to convert the hierarchical spinlocks directly to
mutexes, this patch simplifies the overall locking so that it uses a
global mutex.  This has the added benefit of avoiding iterating
potentially huge number of tasks under a spinlock.  While the patch is
on the larger side in the devel cycle, the changes made are mostly
straight-forward and the locking logic is a lot simpler afterwards.

The following changes since commit 36c38fb7144aa941dc072ba8f58b2dbe509c0345:

  blkcg: use trylock on blkcg_pol_mutex in blkcg_reset_stats() (2014-05-05 13:48:18 -0400)
