Paul Menage c6d57f3312 cgroups: support named cgroups hierarchies
To simplify referring to cgroup hierarchies in mount statements, and to
allow disambiguation in the presence of empty hierarchies and
multiply-bindable subsystems this patch adds support for naming a new
cgroup hierarchy via the "name=" mount option

A pre-existing hierarchy may be specified by either name or by subsystems;
a hierarchy's name cannot be changed by a remount operation.

Example usage:

# To create a hierarchy called "foo" containing the "cpu" subsystem
mount -t cgroup -oname=foo,cpu cgroup /mnt/cgroup1

# To mount the "foo" hierarchy on a second location
mount -t cgroup -oname=foo cgroup /mnt/cgroup2
