Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] don't attach a task to a dead cgroup

Not all external callers of cgroup_attach_task() test to
see if the cgroup is still live - the internal callers at
cgroup.c does.

With this test in cgroup_attach_task, we can assure that
no tasks are ever moved to a cgroup that is past its
destruction point and was already marked as dead.
