Tejun Heo 8c7f6edbda cgroup: mark subsystems with broken hierarchy support and whine if cgroups are nested for them
Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess.  cpu related subsystems
behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent
properly cover its children.  blkio and freezer completely ignore
hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root
cgroup.  Others show yet different behaviors.

These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup
confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same
hierarchy and obtain sane behavior.

Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and
probably a unified hierarchy.  Users using separate hierarchies
expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted
subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front.

This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true
for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support.  The goal of
this patch is two-fold.

* Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical
  subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those
  doesn't surprise them.

* Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the
  subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support.

For now, start with a single warning message.  We can whine louder
later on.

v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated.

v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the
    cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior
    different from root.use_hierarchy=true.  Fixed a typo spotted by
    Glauber.

v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that
    ->create() can affect the result per Michal.  Dropped unnecessary
    memcg root handling per Michal.
