[cgroup/for-4.6 2/2] cgroup: suppress spurious de-populated events

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Wed Mar 02 2016 - 13:08:07 EST


During task migration, tasks may transfer between two css_sets which
are associated with the same cgroup. If those tasks are the only
tasks in the cgroup, this currently triggers a spurious de-populated
event on the cgroup.

Fix it by bumping up populated count before bumping it down during
migration to ensure that it doesn't reach zero spuriously.
