Merge branch 'for-4.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - For cpustat, cgroup has a percpu hierarchical stat mechanism which
   propagates up the hierarchy lazily.

   This contains commits to factor out and generalize the mechanism so
   that it can be used for other cgroup stats too.

   The original intention was to update memcg stats to use it but memcg
   went for a different approach, so still the only user is cpustat. The
   factoring out and generalization still make sense and it's likely
   that this can be used for other purposes in the future.

 - cgroup uses kernfs_notify() (which uses fsnotify()) to inform user
   space of certain events. A rate limiting mechanism is added.

 - Other misc changes.
