Merge branch 'for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup

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()
