clone3: allow spawning processes into cgroups
This adds support for creating a process in a different cgroup than its parent. Callers can limit and account processes and threads right from the moment they are spawned: - A service manager can directly spawn new services into dedicated cgroups. - A process can be directly created in a frozen cgroup and will be frozen as well. - The initial accounting jitter experienced by process supervisors and daemons is eliminated with this. - Threaded applications or even thread implementations can choose to create a specific cgroup layout where each thread is spawned directly into a dedicated cgroup. This feature is limited to the unified hierarchy. Callers need to pass a directory file descriptor for the target cgroup. The caller can choose to pass an O_PATH file descriptor. All usual migration restrictions apply, i.e. there can be no processes in inner nodes. In general, creating a process directly in a target cgroup adheres to all migration restrictions. One of the biggest advantages of this feature is that CLONE_INTO_GROUP does not need to grab the write side of the cgroup cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem. This global lock makes moving tasks/threads around super expensive. With clone3() this lock is avoided.
