cafe563591 ("bcache: A block layer cache") added a new cgroup
subsystem bcache_subsys without proper review and ack.  bcache_subsys
seems to use cgroup for group stats and per-group cache_mode
configuration.  This is very much the type of usage that we don't want
to allow.

Fortunately, CONFIG_CGROUP_BCACHE which enables bcache_subsys is
currently commented out, so this shouldn't have any upstream users.
Let's nip in the bud.  While at it, clarify in cgroup_subsys.h that no
new subsystem should be added without explicit acks from cgroup
maintainers.

Applied to cgroup/for-3.11-fixes.  Please don't do things like this
ever again.

Thanks.
