Merge branch 'for-3.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup

* 'for-3.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (21 commits)
  cgroup: fix to allow mounting a hierarchy by name
  cgroup: move assignement out of condition in cgroup_attach_proc()
  cgroup: Remove task_lock() from cgroup_post_fork()
  cgroup: add sparse annotation to cgroup_iter_start() and cgroup_iter_end()
  cgroup: mark cgroup_rmdir_waitq and cgroup_attach_proc() as static
  cgroup: only need to check oldcgrp==newgrp once
  cgroup: remove redundant get/put of task struct
  cgroup: remove redundant get/put of old css_set from migrate
  cgroup: Remove unnecessary task_lock before fetching css_set on migration
  cgroup: Drop task_lock(parent) on cgroup_fork()
  cgroups: remove redundant get/put of css_set from css_set_check_fetched()
  resource cgroups: remove bogus cast
  cgroup: kill subsys->can_attach_task(), pre_attach() and attach_task()
  cgroup, cpuset: don't use ss->pre_attach()
  cgroup: don't use subsys->can_attach_task() or ->attach_task()
  cgroup: introduce cgroup_taskset and use it in subsys->can_attach(), cancel_attach() and attach()
  cgroup: improve old cgroup handling in cgroup_attach_proc()
  cgroup: always lock threadgroup during migration
  threadgroup: extend threadgroup_lock() to cover exit and exec
  threadgroup: rename signal->threadgroup_fork_lock to ->group_rwsem
  ...

Fix up conflict in kernel/cgroup.c due to commit e0197aae59e5: "cgroups:
fix a css_set not found bug in cgroup_attach_proc" that already
mentioned that the bug is fixed (differently) in Tejun's cgroup
patchset. This one, in other words.
