[PATCH 5/5] Container Freezer: Prevent frozen tasks or cgroups from changing

[Matt Helsley <matthltc@us.ibm.com>]

Don't let frozen tasks or cgroups change. This means frozen tasks can't
leave their current cgroup for another cgroup. It also means that tasks
cannot be added to or removed from a cgroup in the FROZEN state. We
enforce these rules by checking for frozen tasks and cgroups in the
can_attach() function.

Changes since v4:
v5:
	Checked use of task alloc lock for races with swsusp freeze/thaw --
		looks safe because there are explicit barriers to handle
		freeze/thaw races for individual tasks, we explicitly
		handle partial group freezing, and partial group thawing
		should be resolved without changing swsusp's loop. This should
		answer Li Zefan's last comment re: races between freeze and
		thaw.
