cgroup: use restart_syscall() for mount retries
cgroup_mount() uses dumb delay-and-retry logic to wait for cgroup_root which is being destroyed. The retry currently loops inside cgroup_mount() proper. This patch makes it return with restart_syscall() instead so that retry travels out to userland boundary. This slightly simplifies the logic and more importantly makes the retry logic behave better when the wait for some reason becomes lengthy or infinite by allowing the operation to be suspended or terminated from userland. v2: The original patch forgot to free memory allocated for @opts. Fixed. Caught by Li Zefan. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>
