Subject: [PATCH RFC 1/2] cgroups: allow a cgroup subsystem to reject a fork

NOTE: I'm not sure if I'm doing enough cleanup inside copy_process(),
because a bunch of stuff happens between the last valid goto to the
bad_fork_free_pid label and cgroup_post_fork().

What is the correct way of doing cleanup this late inside
copy_process()?

8<----------------------------------------------------------------------

Make the cgroup subsystem post fork callback return an error code so
that subsystems can accept or reject a fork from completing with a
custom error value.

This is in preparation for implementing the numtasks cgroup scope.
