[PATCH] fix cgroup procs documentation

[PATCH] fix cgroup procs documentation

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki]

2.6.33's Documentation has the same wrong information. So, I CC'ed to stable.
If people believe this information, they'll usr cgroup.procs file and will
see cgroup doesn'w work as expected.
The patch itself is against -mm.

==
Writing to cgroup.procs is not supported now.

Aye. Oleg suggested a redesign of the last patch (putting the lock in
signal_struct instead of sighand_struct), but I haven't got time to work
on them now. Expect a revision in maybe two months...
