cgroup: implement cgroup_subsys->implicit_on_dfl
Some controllers, perf_event for now and possibly freezer in the
future, don't really make sense to control explicitly through
"cgroup.subtree_control". For example, the primary role of perf_event
is identifying the cgroups of tasks; however, because the controller
also keeps a small amount of state per cgroup, it can't be replaced
with simple cgroup membership tests.
This patch implements cgroup_subsys->implicit_on_dfl flag. When set,
the controller is implicitly enabled on all cgroups on the v2
hierarchy so that utility type controllers such as perf_event can be
enabled and function transparently.
An implicit controller doesn't show up in "cgroup.controllers" or
"cgroup.subtree_control", is exempt from no internal process rule and
can be stolen from the default hierarchy even if there are non-root
csses.
v2: Reimplemented on top of the recent updates to css handling and
subsystem rebinding. Rebinding implicit subsystems is now a
simple matter of exempting it from the busy subsystem check.
