Subject[RFC PATCH 4/4] vhost: Add cgroup-aware creation of worker threads
Date
With the help of the cgroup function to compare groups introduced
in the previous patch, this changes worker creation policy.
If the new device belongs to different cgroups than any of the
devices we are currently serving, we end up creating a new worker
thread even if we haven't reached the devs_per_worker threshold
