Subject: cgroup: allow ->post_create() to fail
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b1929db42f8a649d9a9e397119f628c27fd4021f;p=linux-beck.git

cgroup: allow ->post_create() to fail

There could be cases where controllers want to do initialization
operations which may fail from ->post_create().  This patch makes
->post_create() return -errno to indicate failure and online_css()
relay such failures.
