Subject: [PATCH 1/2] cgroup: Add generic cgroup subsystem permission checks

From: Colin Cross <ccross@...roid.com>

Rather than using explicit euid == 0 checks when trying to move
tasks into a cgroup, move permission checks into each specific
cgroup subsystem. If a subsystem does not specify a 'allow_attach'
handler, then we fall back to doing the checks the old way.

This patch adds a 'allow_attach' handler instead of reusing the
'can_attach' handler, since if the 'can_attach' handler was
reused, a new cgroup that implements 'can_attach' but not the
permission checks could end up with no permission checks at all.

This also includes folded down fixes from:
  Christian Poetzsch <christian.potzsch@...tec.com>
  Amit Pundir <amit.pundir@...aro.org>
