Al Viro 399504e21a fix cgroup_do_mount() handling of failure exits
same story as with last May fixes in sysfs (7b745a4e40
"unfuck sysfs_mount()"); new_sb is left uninitialized
in case of early errors in kernfs_mount_ns() and papering
over it by treating any error from kernfs_mount_ns() as
equivalent to !new_ns ends up conflating the cases when
objects had never been transferred to a superblock with
ones when that has happened and resulting new superblock
had been dropped.  Easily fixed (same way as in sysfs
case).  Additionally, there's a superblock leak on
kernfs_node_dentry() failure *and* a dentry leak inside
kernfs_node_dentry() itself - the latter on probably
impossible errors, but the former not impossible to trigger
(as the matter of fact, injecting allocation failures
at that point *does* trigger it).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
