Merge branch 'for-3.15-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "During recent restructuring, device_cgroup unified config input check
  and enforcement logic; unfortunately, it turned out to share too much.
  Aristeu's patches fix the breakage and marked for -stable backport.

  The other two patches are fallouts from kernfs conversion.  The blkcg
  change is temporary and will go away once kernfs internal locking gets
  simplified (patches pending)"

* 'for-3.15-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup:
  blkcg: use trylock on blkcg_pol_mutex in blkcg_reset_stats()
  device_cgroup: check if exception removal is allowed
  device_cgroup: fix the comment format for recently added functions
  device_cgroup: rework device access check and exception checking
  cgroup: fix the retry path of cgroup_mount()
