Merge branch 'for-5.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- Christian extended clone3 so that processes can be spawned into
cgroups directly.
This is not only neat in terms of semantics but also avoids grabbing
the global cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem for migration.
- Daniel added !root xattr support to cgroupfs.
Userland already uses xattrs on cgroupfs for bookkeeping. This will
allow delegated cgroups to support such usages.
- Prateek tried to make cpuset hotplug handling synchronous but that
led to possible deadlock scenarios. Reverted.
- Other minor changes including release_agent_path handling cleanup.
