[PATCH 02/30] sched: Allow sched_cgroup_fork() to fail and introduce sched_cancel_fork()

A new BPF extensible sched_class will need more control over the forking
process. It wants to be able to fail from sched_cgroup_fork() after the new
task's sched_task_group is initialized so that the loaded BPF program can
prepare the task with its cgroup association is established and reject fork
if e.g. allocation fails.

Allow sched_cgroup_fork() to fail by making it return int instead of void
and adding sched_cancel_fork() to undo sched_fork() in the error path.

sched_cgroup_fork() doesn't fail yet and this patch shouldn't cause any
behavior changes.

v2: Patch description updated to detail the expected use.
