4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <[email protected]> commit 094f469172e00d6ab0a3130b0e01c83b3cf3a98d upstream. Cgroup created inside throttled group must inherit current throttle_count. Broken throttle_count allows to nominate throttled entries as a next buddy, later this leads to null pointer dereference in pick_next_task_fair(). This patch initialize cfs_rq->throttle_count at first enqueue: laziness allows to skip locking all rq at group creation. Lazy approach also allows to skip full sub-tree scan at throttling hierarchy (not in this patch).
