Merge branch 'for-4.10-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup fix from Tejun Heo:
"The cgroup creation path was getting the order of operations wrong and
exposing cgroups which don't have their names set yet to controllers
which can lead to NULL derefs.
This contains the fix for the bug"
* 'for-4.10-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup:
cgroup: don't online subsystems before cgroup_name/path() are operational
