Subject[PATCH 3.2 131/149] cgroup: fail if monitored file and event_control are in different cgroup
3.2.52-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>

commit f169007b2773f285e098cb84c74aac0154d65ff7 upstream.

If we pass fd of memory.usage_in_bytes of cgroup A to cgroup.event_control
of cgroup B, then we won't get memory usage notification from A but B!

What's worse, if A and B are in different mount hierarchy, we'll end up
accessing NULL pointer!

Disallow this kind of invalid usage.
