Merge branch 'for-3.5-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup fix from Tejun Heo:
"This fixes the possible premature superblock release on umount bug
mentioned during v3.5-rc1 pull request.
Originally, cgroup dentry destruction path assumed that cgroup dentry
didn't have any reference left after cgroup removal thus put super
during dentry removal. Now that there can be lingering dentry
references, this led to super being put with live dentries. This
patch fixes the problem by putting super ref on dentry release instead
of removal."
* 'for-3.5-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup:
cgroup: superblock can't be released with active dentries
