cgroups: implement namespace tracking subsystem
When a task enters a new namespace via a clone() or unshare(), a new cgroup
is created and the task moves into it.
This version names cgroups which are automatically created using
cgroup_clone() as "node_<pid>" where pid is the pid of the unsharing or
cloned process. (Thanks Pavel for the idea) This is safe because if the
process unshares again, it will create
/cgroups/(...)/node_<pid>/node_<pid>
The only possibilities (AFAICT) for a -EEXIST on unshare are
1. pid wraparound
2. a process fails an unshare, then tries again.
Case 1 is unlikely enough that I ignore it (at least for now). In case 2, the
node_<pid> will be empty and can be rmdir'ed to make the subsequent unshare()
succeed.
Changelog:
Name cloned cgroups as "node_<pid>".
