Merge branch 'for-3.11-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup 

Pull cgroup fix from Tejun Heo:
 "During the percpu reference counting update which was merged during
  v3.11-rc1, the cgroup destruction path was updated so that a cgroup in
  the process of dying may linger on the children list, which was
  necessary as the cgroup should still be included in child/descendant
  iteration while percpu ref is being killed.

  Unfortunately, I forgot to update cgroup destruction path accordingly
  and cgroup destruction may fail spuriously with -EBUSY due to
  lingering dying children even when there's no live child left - e.g.
  "rmdir parent/child parent" will usually fail.

  This can be easily fixed by iterating through the children list to
  verify that there's no live child left.  While this is very late in
  the release cycle, this bug is very visible to userland and I believe
  the fix is relatively safe.

  Thanks Hugh for spotting and providing fix for the issue"
