cgroups: implement namespace tracking subsystem

Browse Source 
When a task enters a new namespace via a clone() or unshare(), a new cgroup
is created and the task moves into it.

This version names cgroups which are automatically created using
cgroup_clone() as "node_<pid>" where pid is the pid of the unsharing or
cloned process.  (Thanks Pavel for the idea) This is safe because if the
process unshares again, it will create

	/cgroups/(...)/node_<pid>/node_<pid>

The only possibilities (AFAICT) for a -EEXIST on unshare are

	1. pid wraparound
	2. a process fails an unshare, then tries again.

Case 1 is unlikely enough that I ignore it (at least for now).  In case 2, the
node_<pid> will be empty and can be rmdir'ed to make the subsequent unshare()
succeed.

Changelog:
	Name cloned cgroups as "node_<pid>".
