So I think until we are confident in the proposed fixes, how about 
applying Linus's patch that reverts a9e7f6544b9c and simplifies the list 
manipulation?

That way we can re-introduce the O(nr_cgroups) optimization without 
pressure.

I'll prepare a commit for sched/urgent that does this, please holler if 
any of you disagrees!

Thanks,
