This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 24ee3cf89bef04e8bc23788aca4e029a3f0f06d9 ]

The comment says it's using trialcs->mems_allowed as a temp variable but
it didn't match the code. Change the code to match the comment.

This fixes an issue when writing in cpuset.mems when a sub-directory
exists: we need to write several times for the information to persist:

| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset# mkdir footest9
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset# cd footest9
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# mkdir aa
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# cat cpuset.mems
|
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# echo 0 > cpuset.mems
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# cat cpuset.mems
|
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# echo 0 > cpuset.mems
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# cat cpuset.mems
| 0
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# cat aa/cpuset.mems
|
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# echo 0 > aa/cpuset.mems
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# cat aa/cpuset.mems
| 0
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9#

This should help to fix the following issue in Docker:
https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/issues/133
In some conditions, a Docker container needs to be started twice in
order to work.
