We are adding two files in this patch series, misc.events and
misc.events.local. I think "fail" should go in misc.events.local and
its name should be changed to "max". So, both files will have "max"
entry but the one in misc.events will refer to the failures in the
current cgroup and its children, and the one in misc.events.local will
refer to the originating cgroup.
