[patch 01/14] cgroup: dont call vfs_mkdir

[Miklos Szeredi]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

cgroup_clone() calls vfs_mkdir() to create a directory in the cgroup
filesystem.  Replace with explicit call to cgroup_mkdir() and
fsnotify_mkdir().

This is equivalent, except that the following functions are not called
before cgroup_mkdir():

 - may_create()
 - security_inode_mkdir()
 - DQUOT_INIT()

Permission to clone the cgroup has already been checked in
copy_namespaces() (requiring CAP_SYS_ADMIN).  Additional file system
related capability checks are inappropriate and confusing.

The quota check is unnecessary, as quotas don't make any sense for
this filesystem.
