[GIT PULL] cgroup fixes for v4.6-rc5

[Tejun Heo]

Hello, Linus.

Two patches to fix a deadlock which can be easily triggered if memcg
charge moving is used.  This bug was introduced while converting
threadgroup locking to a global percpu_rwsem and is caused by cgroup
controller task migration path depending on the ability to create new
kthreads.  cpuset had a similar issue which was fixed by performing
heavy-lifting operations asynchronous to task migration.  The two
patches fix the same issue in memcg in a similar way.  The first patch
makes the mechanism generic and the second relocates memcg charge
moving outside the migration path.

Given that we don't want to perform heavy operations while
writelocking threadgroup lock anyway, moving them out of the way is a
desirable solution.  One thing to note is that the problem was
difficult to debug because lockdep couldn't figure out the deadlock
condition.  Looking into how to improve that.

Thanks.
