Merge branch 'for-4.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - tracepoints for basic cgroup management operations added

 - kernfs and cgroup path formatting functions updated to behave in the
   style of strlcpy()

 - non-critical bug fixes

* 'for-4.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup:
  blkcg: Unlock blkcg_pol_mutex only once when cpd == NULL
  cgroup: fix error handling regressions in proc_cgroup_show() and cgroup_release_agent()
  cpuset: fix error handling regression in proc_cpuset_show()
  cgroup: add tracepoints for basic operations
  cgroup: make cgroup_path() and friends behave in the style of strlcpy()
  kernfs: remove kernfs_path_len()
  kernfs: make kernfs_path*() behave in the style of strlcpy()
  kernfs: add dummy implementation of kernfs_path_from_node()
