Colin Cross 4a12178d3d cgroup: Add generic cgroup subsystem permission checks
Rather than using explicit euid == 0 checks when trying to move
tasks into a cgroup via CFS, move permission checks into each
specific cgroup subsystem. If a subsystem does not specify a
'allow_attach' handler, then we fall back to doing our checks
the old way.

Use the 'allow_attach' handler for the 'cpu' cgroup to allow
non-root processes to add arbitrary processes to a 'cpu' cgroup
if it has the CAP_SYS_NICE capability set.

This version of the patch adds a 'allow_attach' handler instead
of reusing the 'can_attach' handler.  If the 'can_attach' handler
is reused, a new cgroup that implements 'can_attach' but not
the permission checks could end up with no permission checks
at all.
