The general idea of passing consistent information to all *attach
methods seems good, but isn't it simpler to just fix up the various
method signatures?

The whole point of having *attach() and *attach_task() was to minimize
the amount of boilerplate (in this case, iterating across a new
cgroup_taskset abstraction) in the subsystems, leaving that to the
cgroups framework.
