[libvirt] [PATCH] cgroup: Change virCgroupRemove to remove all child groups at first

[Ryota Ozaki <ozaki.ryota@xxxxxxxxx>]

As same as normal directories, a cgroup cannot be removed if it
contains sub groups. This patch changes virCgroupRemove to remove
all child groups (subdirectories) of a target group before removing
the target group.

The handling is required when we run lxc with ns subsystem of cgroup.
Ns subsystem automatically creates child cgroups on every process
forks, but unfortunately the groups are not removed on process exits,
so we have to remove them by ourselves.

With this patch, such child groups are surely removed at lxc
shutdown, i.e., lxcVmCleanup which calls virCgroupRemove.
