3.2.64-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Alban Crequy <[email protected]> commit 71b1fb5c4473a5b1e601d41b109bdfe001ec82e0 upstream. /proc/<pid>/cgroup contains one cgroup path on each line. If cgroup names are allowed to contain "\n", applications cannot parse /proc/<pid>/cgroup safely.
