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. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
