To synchronize around initialization, a PF flag would be easier as we
can use wait_on_bit().

task_can_attach() predates the __cgroup_procs_write() and currently
doesn't do anything.  We can split the flag or rename it so that it's
more generic.  The reasons for disallowing cgroup migration have a lot
of crosssection with affinity, so it's not a complete misnomer.
Either way is fine by me.

Thanks.
