    Add functionality that enables users to move all threads in a threadgroup · a42147b2

    at once to a cgroup by writing the tgid to the 'cgroup.procs' file.  This
    current implementation makes use of a per-threadgroup rwsem that's taken
    for reading in the fork() path to prevent newly forking threads within the
    threadgroup from "escaping" while the move is in progress.
    
    Cgroups subsystems that need to perform per-thread actions in their
    "attach" callback are (currently) responsible for doing their own
    synchronization, since this occurs outside of the critical section that
    locks against cloning within a thread group.
