Subject: cgroups: make cftype.unregister_event() void-returning
From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Since we are unable to handle an error returned by
cftype.unregister_event() properly, let's make the callback
void-returning.
mem_cgroup_unregister_event() has been rewritten to be a "never fail"
function. On mem_cgroup_usage_register_event() we save old buffer for
thresholds array and reuse it in mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event() to
avoid allocation.
