Subject: [PATCH 3/4] Container Freezer: Implement freezer cgroup subsystem
This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups framework.
It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in a cgroup by
writing in the cgroup filesystem.
This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space task
in a simple scenario.
It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete. In that case we return
EBUSY. This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing something that
prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this time. After EBUSY,
the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected by freezer.state reporting
"FREEZING" when read. The state will remain "FREEZING" until one of these
things happens:
1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to
the freezer.state file
2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to
the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal
and returns EIO)
3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN"
state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

Changelog:
v2:
Moved the "kill" file into a separate cgroup subsystem (signal) and
it's own patch.
Changed the name of the file from freezer.freeze to freezer.state.
Switched from taking 1 and 0 as input to the strings "FROZEN" and
"RUNNING", respectively. This helps keep the interface
human-usable if/when we need to more states.
Checked that stopped or interrupted is "frozen enough"
Since try_to_freeze() is called upon wakeup of these tasks
this should be fine. This idea comes from recent changes to
the freezer.
Checked that if (task == current) whilst freezing cgroup we're ok
Fixed bug where -EBUSY would always be returned when freezing
Added code to handle userspace retries for any remaining -EBUSY
