Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] cgroup: unify attach permission checking

The core codepaths to check whether a process can be attached to a
cgroup are the same for threads and thread-group leaders. Only a small
piece of code verifying that source and destination cgroup are in the
same domain differentiates the thread permission checking from
thread-group leader permission checking.
Since cgroup_migrate_vet_dst() only matters cgroup2 - it is a noop on
cgroup1 - we can move it out of cgroup_attach_task().
All checks can now be consolidated into a new helper
cgroup_attach_permissions() callable from both cgroup_procs_write() and
cgroup_threads_write().

/* v2 */
- Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@...ntu.com>:
  - Fix return value of cgroup_attach_permissions. It used to return 0
    when it should've returned -EOPNOTSUPP.
  - Fix call to cgroup_attach_permissions() in cgroup_procs_write(). It
    accidently specified that a thread was moved causing an additional
    check for domain-group equality to be executed that is not needed.
