[GIT UPDATED PULL] cgroup fixes for v3.17-rc6

From: Tejun Heo

Hello, Linus.

One late fix for cgroup. I was waiting for another set of fixes for a
long-standing obscure cpuset bug but am not sure whether they'll be
ready before v3.17 release. This one is a simple fix for a mutex
unlock balance bug in an allocation failure path in
pidlist_array_load(). The bug was introduced in v3.14 and the fix is
tagged for -stable.

Thanks.
