[PATCH v5 3/5] cgroup/pids: Add pids.events.local

[Michal Koutný]

Hierarchical counting of events is not practical for watching when a
particular pids.max is being hit. Therefore introduce .local flavor of
events file (akin to memory controller) that collects only events
relevant to given cgroup.

The file is only added to the default hierarchy.

 Organisational operations are not blocked by cgroup policies, so it is
 possible to have pids.current > pids.max.  This can be done by either
 setting the limit to be smaller than pids.current, or attaching enough
