Merge branch 'for-4.11-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "This contains fixes for two long standing subtle bugs:

   - kthread_bind() on a new kthread binds it to specific CPUs and
     prevents userland from messing with the affinity or cgroup
     membership. Unfortunately, for cgroup membership, there's a window
     between kthread creation and kthread_bind*() invocation where the
     kthread can be moved into a non-root cgroup by userland.

     Depending on what controllers are in effect, this can assign the
     kthread unexpected attributes. For example, in the reported case,
     workqueue workers ended up in a non-root cpuset cgroups and had
     their CPU affinities overridden. This broke workqueue invariants
     and led to workqueue stalls.

     Fixed by closing the window between kthread creation and
     kthread_bind() as suggested by Oleg.

   - There was a bug in cgroup mount path which could allow two
     competing mount attempts to attach the same cgroup_root to two
     different superblocks.

     This was caused by mishandling return value from kernfs_pin_sb().

     Fixed"
