Subject: [PATCH 4.4 21/34] cgroup1: dont allow \n in renaming

From: Alexander Kuznetsov <wwfq@...dex-team.ru>

commit b7e24eb1caa5f8da20d405d262dba67943aedc42 upstream.

cgroup_mkdir() have restriction on newline usage in names:
$ mkdir $'/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test\ntest2'
mkdir: cannot create directory
'/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test\ntest2': Invalid argument

But in cgroup1_rename() such check is missed.
This allows us to make /proc/<pid>/cgroup unparsable:
$ mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test
$ mv /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test $'/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test\ntest2'
$ echo $$ > $'/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test\ntest2'
$ cat /proc/self/cgroup
