Subject: [PATCH 2/8] Adds a read-only "procs" file similar to "tasks" that
	shows only unique tgids

From: Ben Blum <bblum@...gle.com>


Adds a read-only "procs" file similar to "tasks" that shows only unique tgids

struct cgroup used to have a bunch of fields for keeping track of the pidlist
for the tasks file. Those are now separated into a new struct cgroup_pidlist,
of which two are had, one for procs and one for tasks. The way the seq_file
operations are set up is changed so that just the pidlist struct gets passed
around as the private data.

Interface example: Suppose a multithreaded process has pid 1000 and other
threads with ids 1001, 1002, 1003:
$ cat tasks
1000
1001
1002
1003
$ cat cgroup.procs
1000
$
