Adds a new single-purpose PIDs subsystem to limit the number of
tasks that can be forked inside a cgroup. Essentially this is an
implementation of RLIMIT_NPROC that applies to a cgroup rather than a
process tree.
However, it should be noted that organisational operations (adding and
removing tasks from a PIDs hierarchy) will *not* be prevented. Rather,
the number of tasks in the hierarchy cannot exceed the limit through
forking. This is due to the fact that, in the unified hierarchy, attach
cannot fail (and it is not possible for a task to overcome its PIDs
cgroup policy limit by attaching to a child cgroup -- even if migrating
mid-fork it must be able to fork in the parent first).
PIDs are fundamentally a global resource, and it is possible to reach
PID exhaustion inside a cgroup without hitting any reasonable kmemcg
policy. Once you've hit PID exhaustion, you're only in a marginally
better state than OOM. This subsystem allows PID exhaustion inside a
cgroup to be prevented.

"The main set of series of patches for media subsystem, including:
- document RC sysfs class
- added an API to setup scancode to allow waking up systems using the
Remote Controller
- add API for SDR devices. Drivers are still on staging
- some API improvements for getting EDID data from media
inputs/outputs
- new DVB frontend driver for drx-j (ATSC)
- one driver (it913x/it9137) got removed, in favor of an improvement
on another driver (af9035)
- added a skeleton V4L2 PCI driver at documentation
- added a dual flash driver (lm3646)
- added a new IR driver (img-ir)
- added an IR scancode decoder for the Sharp protocol
- some improvements at the usbtv driver, to allow its core to be
reused.
- added a new SDR driver (rtl2832u_sdr)
- added a new tuner driver (msi001)
- several improvements at em28xx driver to fix PM support, device
removal and to split the V4L2 specific bits into a separate
sub-driver
- one driver got converted to videobuf2 (s2255drv)
- the e4000 tuner driver now follows an improved binding model
- some fixes at V4L2 compat32 code
- several fixes and enhancements at videobuf2 code
- some cleanups at V4L2 API documentation
- usual driver enhancements, new board additions and misc fixups"
[ NOTE! This merge effective drops commit 4329b93b28 ("of: Reduce
indentation in of_graph_get_next_endpoint").
The of_graph_get_next_endpoint() function was moved and renamed by
commit fd9fdb78a9 ("[media] of: move graph helpers from
drivers/media/v4l2-core to drivers/of"). It was originally called
v4l2_of_get_next_endpoint() and lived in the file
drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-of.c.
In that original location, it was then fixed to support empty port
nodes by commit b9db140c1e ("[media] v4l: of: Support empty port
nodes"), and that commit clashes badly with the dropped "Reduce
intendation" commit. I had to choose one or the other, and decided
that the "Support empty port nodes" commit was more important ]
