WARN_ON() in pids_fork() I guess. Thanks. I didn't expect you will actually
apply this patch, I didn't even try to compile it ;)

Plus this patch forgets to unconditionalize another threadgroup_change_end()
in the error path of copy_process().

Again, if we do this, we can make other cleanups/simplifications. For example,
we can kill cgrp_ss_priv[CGROUP_CANFORK_COUNT] in copy_process().

But I see another email from you, will reply in a minute.

Oleg.
