Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo: "Out of the 8 commits, one fixes a long-standing locking issue around tasklist walking and others are cleanups." * 'for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cgroup: Walk task list under tasklist_lock in cgroup_enable_task_cg_list cgroup: Remove wrong comment on cgroup_enable_task_cg_list() cgroup: remove cgroup_subsys argument from callbacks cgroup: remove extra calls to find_existing_css_set cgroup: replace tasklist_lock with rcu_read_lock cgroup: simplify double-check locking in cgroup_attach_proc cgroup: move struct cgroup_pidlist out from the header file cgroup: remove cgroup_attach_task_current_cg()
