[GIT PULL] cgroup fixes for v4.11-rc6

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Sun Apr 16 2017 - 11:34:02 EST


Hello, Linus.

Unfortunately, the commit to fix the cgroup mount race in the previous
pull request can lead to hangs. The original bug has been around for
a while and isn't too likely to be triggered in usual use cases.
Revert the commit for now.

Thanks.
