Merge branch 'for-5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"Two cpuset behavior changes:
- cpuset on cgroup2 is changed to enable memory migration based on
nodemask by default.
- A notification is generated when cpuset partition state changes.
All other patches are minor fixes and cleanups"
* 'for-5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup:
cgroup: Avoid compiler warnings with no subsystems
cgroup/cpuset: Avoid memory migration when nodemasks match
cgroup/cpuset: Enable memory migration for cpuset v2
cgroup/cpuset: Enable event notification when partition state changes
cgroup: cgroup-v1: clean up kernel-doc notation
cgroup: Replace deprecated CPU-hotplug functions.
cgroup/cpuset: Fix violation of cpuset locking rule
cgroup/cpuset: Fix a partition bug with hotplug
cgroup/cpuset: Miscellaneous code cleanup
cgroup: remove cgroup_mount from comments
