From: Roman Gushchin <guro@xxxxxx> Subject: cgroup: remove obsoleted broken_hierarchy and warned_broken_hierarchy With the deprecation of the non-hierarchical mode of the memory controller there are no more examples of broken hierarchies left. Let's remove the cgroup core code which was supposed to print warnings about creating of broken hierarchies.
