Subject: [PATCH] mm, oom: return error on access to memory.oom_group if
 groupoom is disabled

Cgroup-aware OOM killer depends on cgroup mount option and is turned
off by default, despite the user interface (memory.oom_group file) is
always present. As it might be confusing to a user, let's return
-ENOTSUPP on an attempt to access to memory.oom_group if groupoom is not
enabled globally.

Example:
  $ cd /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/
  $ cat memory.oom_group
    cat: memory.oom_group: Unknown error 524
  $ echo 1 > memory.oom_group
    -bash: echo: write error: Unknown error 524
  $ mount -o remount,groupoom /sys/fs/cgroup
  $ echo 1 > memory.oom_group
  $ cat memory.oom_group
    1
