Subject: [PATCH v5 0/5] pids controller events rework

This makes pids.events:max affine to pids.max limit.

How are the new events supposed to be useful?

- pids.events.local:max
  - tells that cgroup's limit is hit (too tight?)
- pids.events:*
  - "only" directs top-down search to cgroups of interest

Changes from v4 (https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240416142014.27630-1-mkoutny@suse.com)
- rebased on cgroup/for-6.10 (rather cgroup/for-next, there's no rush)
- introduce pids_files_legacy at one place (Tejun)
- more descriptive Documentation/ (Tejun)

Changes from v3 (https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240405170548.15234-1-mkoutny@suse.com)
- use existing functions for TAP output in selftest (Muhammad)
- formatting in selftest (Muhammad)
- remove pids.events:max.imposed event, keep it internal (Johannes)
- allow legacy behavior with a mount option
- detach migration charging patches
- drop RFC prefix

Changes from v2 (https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200205134426.10570-1-mkoutny@suse.com)
- implemented pids.events.local (Tejun)
- added migration charging
