[GIT PULL] cgroup fixes for v3.2-rc6

Hello, Linus.

Trying to migrating a zombie task hits BUG. This is already fixed in
the devel branch with the threadgroup locking and this is only for
v3.2 and -stable. The fix is simple - not skipping PF_EXITING tasks
in cgroup_attach_proc() preparation steps is enough.

Please pull from the following git branch to receive the fix.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup.git for-3.2-fixes

Thank you.
