[PATCH v4 1/2] cgroups: allow a cgroup subsystem to reject a fork

[Aleksa Sarai]

Add a new cgroup subsystem callback can_fork that conditionally
states whether or not the fork is accepted or rejected with a cgroup
policy.

Make the cgroup subsystem can_fork callback return an error code so
that subsystems can accept or reject a fork from completing with a
custom error value, before the process is exposed.

In addition, add a cancel_fork callback so that if an error occurs later
in the forking process, any state modified by can_fork can be reverted.

In order for can_fork to deal with a task that has an accurate css_set,
move the css_set updating to cgroup_fork (where it belongs).

This is in preparation for implementing the pids cgroup subsystem.
