Subject: [PATCH] cgroups: respect cgroup timer slack value in prctl

From: Jacob Pan <jacob.jun.pan@...ux.intel.com>

Per cgroup timer slack value is used to manage task groups
for more friendly power management behavior. Once a task is
attached to a cgroup, we should not allow user to change
(escape) the per cgroup restriction unless a more relaxed
timer slack value is given by user via prctl.
