Hello,

This became a rather large patchset mostly because there are a lot of
weirdities and subtle breakages in create/destroy/load/unload paths.
The goal of the patchset is allowing ->post_create() to fail and
renaming ->create/post_create/pre_destroy/destroy() to
->css_alloc/css_online/css_offline/css_free().

This patchset contains the following seventeen patches.

0001 is a bugfix.  Tagged for -stable.  I don't I'll push it through
for-3.7-fixes tho.  This has been broken forever and nobody reported
anything yet.

0002-0011 are various fixes and cleanups to prepare for the following
changes.  Each should be self-explanatory.

0012-0015 are preparation patches more directly related to allowing
failure of ->post_create().

0016 allows ->post_create() to fail.

0017 renames ops and updates documentation.

This patchst is on top of cgroup/for-3.8 and available on the
following git branch.
