Subject[RFC 2/4] cgroup: implement hierarchy limits
Date
Creating cgroup hierearchies of unreasonable size can affect
overall system performance. A user might want to limit the
size of cgroup hierarchy. This is especially important if a user
is delegating some cgroup sub-tree.

To address this issue, introduce an ability to control
the size of cgroup hierarchy.

The cgroup.max.descendants control file allows to set the maximum
allowed number of descendant cgroups.
The cgroup.max.depth file controls the maximum depth of the cgroup
tree. Both are single value r/w files, with "max" default value.

The control files exist on each hierarchy level (including root).
When a new cgroup is created, we check the total descendants
and depth limits on each level, and if none of them are exceeded,
a new cgroup is created.

Only alive cgroups are counted, removed (dying) cgroups are
ignored.
