Merge branch 'for-4.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "Nothing too interesting.  Rik made cpuset cooperate better with
  isolcpus and there are several other cleanup patches"

* 'for-4.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup:
  cpuset, isolcpus: document relationship between cpusets & isolcpus
  cpusets, isolcpus: exclude isolcpus from load balancing in cpusets
  sched, isolcpu: make cpu_isolated_map visible outside scheduler
  cpuset: initialize cpuset a bit early
  cgroup: Use kvfree in pidlist_free()
  cgroup: call cgroup_subsys->bind on cgroup subsys initialization

By default, there is one sched domain covering all CPUs, including those
marked isolated using the kernel boot time "isolcpus=" argument. However,
the isolated CPUs will not participate in load balancing, and will not
have tasks running on them unless explicitly assigned.
This default load balancing across all CPUs is not well suited for
the following two situations:

constrained to some subset of the CPUs allowed to them, for lack of
load balancing to the other CPUs.
CPUs in "cpuset.isolcpus" were excluded from load balancing by the
isolcpus= kernel boot option, and will never be load balanced regardless
of the value of "cpuset.sched_load_balance" in any cpuset.
