Merge branch 'for-3.7-hierarchy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup

Pull cgroup hierarchy update from Tejun Heo:
 "Currently, different cgroup subsystems handle nested cgroups
  completely differently.  There's no consistency among subsystems and
  the behaviors often are outright broken.

  People at least seem to agree that the broken hierarhcy behaviors need
  to be weeded out if any progress is gonna be made on this front and
  that the fallouts from deprecating the broken behaviors should be
  acceptable especially given that the current behaviors don't make much
  sense when nested.

  This patch makes cgroup emit warning messages if cgroups for
  subsystems with broken hierarchy behavior are nested to prepare for
  fixing them in the future.  This was put in a separate branch because
  more related changes were expected (didn't make it this round) and the
  memory cgroup wanted to pull in this and make changes on top."
