cgroup: mark "notify_on_release" and "release_agent" cgroup files insane
The empty cgroup notification mechanism currently implemented in
cgroup is tragically outdated. Forking and execing userland process
stopped being a viable notification mechanism more than a decade ago.
We're gonna have a saner mechanism. Let's make it clear that this
abomination is going away.
Mark "notify_on_release" and "release_agent" with CFTYPE_INSANE.
