Merge branch 'for-3.17-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "This is quite late but these need to be backported anyway.

  This is the fix for a long-standing cpuset bug which existed from
  2009.  cpuset makes use of PF_SPREAD_{PAGE|SLAB} flags to modify the
  task's memory allocation behavior according to the settings of the
  cpuset it belongs to; unfortunately, when those flags have to be
  changed, cpuset did so directly even whlie the target task is running,
  which is obviously racy as task->flags may be modified by the task
  itself at any time.  This obscure bug manifested as corrupt
  PF_USED_MATH flag leading to a weird crash.

  The bug is fixed by moving the flag to task->atomic_flags.  The first
  two are prepatory ones to help defining atomic_flags accessors and the
  third one is the actual fix"

* 'for-3.17-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup:
  cpuset: PF_SPREAD_PAGE and PF_SPREAD_SLAB should be atomic flags
  sched: add macros to define bitops for task atomic flags
  sched: fix confusing PFA_NO_NEW_PRIVS constant
