[GIT PULL] cgroup fixes for v4.4-rc4

[Tejun Heo]

Hello, Linus.

More change than I'd have liked at this stage.  The pids controller
and the changes made to cgroup core to support it introduced and
revealed several important issues.

* Assigning membership to a newly created task and migrating it can
  race leading to incorrect accounting.  Oleg fixed it by widening
  threadgroup synchronization.  It looks like we'll be able to merge
  it with a different percpu rwsem which is used in fork path making
  things simpler and cheaper.

* The recent change to extend cgroup membership to zombies (so that
  pid accounting can extend till the pid is actually released) missed
  pinning the underlying data structures leading to use-after-free.
  Fixed.

* v2 hierarchy was calling subsystem callbacks with the wrong target
  cgroup_subsys_state based on the incorrect assumption that they
  share the same target.  pids is the first controller affected by
  this.  Subsys callbacks updated so that they can deal with
  multi-target migrations.

Thanks.
