Bug Description

similar to this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcgroup/+bug/693594

cgroup-bin moves kernel threads into groups without resources to get their job done (which isn't wrong, it's doing what it's told to)

this leads to suspend working once, resuming working once; then the machine not finishing the second suspend, and the laptop quickly getting very hot (like all cpu cores are going at it 100%)

i did not track down exactly what thread needed the resources to fix this

as in the related bug i posted, and this https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/4/313

offlining and stopping a cpu, bringing it back up are steps also taken during a suspend/resume cycle if theres more than one cpu

I considered not marking this a dup of bug 693594, because it could presumably be worked around in suspend/resume hooks. But I think I'l do it anyway since the right fix in libcgroup is obvious. (I'm just not sure offhand how easy it will be to actually do).
