Since 2.6.36-rc1, non-root users of vhost-net fail to attach
if they are in any cgroups. This is a regression, and libvirt
actually uses this functionality, as it runs qemu with reduced
priveledges.
The bug is that when qemu uses vhost, vhost wants to attach
its thread to all cgroups that qemu has. But we got the API backwards,
so a non-priveledged process (qemu) tried to control
the priveledged one (vhost), which fails.
Fix this using the new cgroup_attach_task_all,
and running it from the vhost thread.

Dave, no need to bother with this one unless you really want to -
I'll put it on my tree.
