[PATCH 2/4] Kconfig: remove pointless cgroup dependency

[Daniel Lezcano]

The different cgroup subsystems are under the cgroup submenu.
The dependency between the cgroups and the menu subsystems is
pointless.

[PATCH 3/4] Kconfig: remove the cgroup device whitelist experimental tag

[Daniel Lezcano]

This subsystem is merged since a long time now, I think we can
consider it mature enough.

[PATCH 4/4] Kconfig: move namespace menu location after the cgroup

[Daniel Lezcano]

We have the namespaces as a menuconfig like the cgroup.
The cgroup and the namespace are two base bricks for the containers.

It is more logical to put the namespace menu right after the cgroup menu.
