cgroups: ensure correct concurrent opening/reading of pidlists across pid namespaces
Previously there was the problem in which two processes from different pid
namespaces reading the tasks or procs file could result in one process
seeing results from the other's namespace. Rather than one pidlist for
each file in a cgroup, we now keep a list of pidlists keyed by namespace
and file type (tasks versus procs) in which entries are placed on demand.
Each pidlist has its own lock, and that the pidlists themselves are passed
around in the seq_file's private pointer means we don't have to touch the
cgroup or its master list except when creating and destroying entries.
