Merge branch 'for-3.5-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull two cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo: "This containes two patches fixing a refcnt race bug during css_put(). Decrementing and checking the value weren't atomic and two tasks could think that they both pushed the counter to zero." * 'for-3.5-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cgroups: Account for CSS_DEACT_BIAS in __css_put cgroup: make sure that decisions in __css_put are atomic
