Subject: [RFC PATCH ghak32 V2 02/13] audit: check children and threading before allowing containerid

Check if a task has existing children or co-threads and refuse to set
the container ID if either are present.  Failure to check this could
permit games where a child scratches its parent's back to work around
inheritance and double-setting policy.
