cgroup: notify ns_cgroup deprecated

Browse source 
The ns_cgroup will be removed very soon.  Let's warn, for this version,
ns_cgroup is deprecated.

Make ns_cgroup and clone_children exclusive.  If the clone_children is set
and the ns_cgroup is mounted, let's fail with EINVAL when the ns_cgroup
subsys is created (a printk will help the user to understand why the
creation fails).

Update the feature remove schedule file with the deprecated ns_cgroup.

----------------------------
What: namespace cgroup (ns_cgroup)
When: 2.6.38
Why: The ns_cgroup leads to some problems:
* cgroup creation is out-of-control
* cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping
* it is not possible to have a single process handling
a lot of namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time
* we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup
The ns_cgroup is replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children',
where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values.
The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to
the 'tasks' file.
