Merge branch 'for-3.13-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo: "Fixes for three issues. - cgroup destruction path could swamp system_wq possibly leading to deadlock. This actually seems to happen in the wild with memcg because memcg destruction path adds nested dependency on system_wq. Resolved by isolating cgroup destruction work items on its dedicated workqueue. - Possible locking context deadlock through seqcount reported by lockdep - Memory leak under certain conditions" * 'for-3.13-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cgroup: fix cgroup_subsys_state leak for seq_files cpuset: Fix memory allocator deadlock cgroup: use a dedicated workqueue for cgroup destruction
