Merge tag 'cgroup-for-7.2-rc3-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
- A cpuset that never set its memory nodes could divide by zero when a
task's mempolicy rebinds on CPU hotplug. Rebind against the effective
nodes, which are always populated
- Documentation fixes for memory.stat, io.stat, and the misc and v1
RDMA controllers
