Merge branch 'for-3.9-cpuset' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup

Pull cpuset changes from Tejun Heo:

 - Synchornization has seen a lot of changes with focus on decoupling
   cpuset synchronization from cgroup internal locking.

   After this change, there only remain a couple of mostly trivial
   dependencies on cgroup_lock outside cgroup core proper.  cgroup_lock
   is scheduled to be unexported in this devel cycle.

   This will finally remove the fragile locking order around cgroup
   (cgroup locking wants to / should be one of the outermost but yet has
   been acquired from deep inside individual controllers).

 - At this point, Li is most knowlegeable with cpuset and taking over
   the maintainership of cpuset.

* 'for-3.9-cpuset' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup:
  cpuset: drop spurious retval assignment in proc_cpuset_show()
  cpuset: fix RCU lockdep splat
  cpuset: update MAINTAINERS
  cpuset: remove cpuset->parent
  cpuset: replace cpuset->stack_list with cpuset_for_each_descendant_pre()
  cpuset: replace cgroup_mutex locking with cpuset internal locking
  cpuset: schedule hotplug propagation from cpuset_attach() if the cpuset is empty
  cpuset: pin down cpus and mems while a task is being attached
  cpuset: make CPU / memory hotplug propagation asynchronous
  cpuset: drop async_rebuild_sched_domains()
  cpuset: don't nest cgroup_mutex inside get_online_cpus()
  cpuset: reorganize CPU / memory hotplug handling
  cpuset: cleanup cpuset[_can]_attach()
  cpuset: introduce cpuset_for_each_child()
  cpuset: introduce CS_ONLINE
  cpuset: introduce ->css_on/offline()
  cpuset: remove fast exit path from remove_tasks_in_empty_cpuset()
  cpuset: remove unused cpuset_unlock()
