[PATCH 5/5] cgroup: make cgroup_update_dfl_csses() migrate all target processes atomically

[Tejun Heo]

cgroup_update_dfl_csses() is responsible for migrating processes when
controllers are enabled or disabled on the default hierarchy.  As the
css association changes for all the processes in the affected cgroups,
this involves migrating multiple processes.

Up until now, it was implemented by migrating process-by-process until
the source css_sets are empty; however, this means that if a process
fails to migrate after some succeed before it, the recovery is very
tricky.  This was considered okay as subsystems weren't allowed to
reject process migration on the default hierarchy; unfortunately,
enforcing this policy turned out to be problematic for certain types
of resources - realtime slices for now.

As such, the default hierarchy is gonna allow restricted failures
during migration and to support that this patch makes
cgroup_update_dfl_csses() migrate all target processes atomically
rather than one-by-one.  The preceding patches made subsystems ready
for multi-process migration and factored out taskset operations making
this almost trivial.  All tasks of the target processes are put in the
same taskset and the migration operations are performed once which
either fails or succeeds for all.
