cgroup: Make !percpu threadgroup_rwsem operations optional
3942a9bd7b58 ("locking, rcu, cgroup: Avoid synchronize_sched() in __cgroup_procs_write()") disabled percpu operations on threadgroup_rwsem because the impiled synchronize_rcu() on write locking was pushing up the latencies too much for android which constantly moves processes between cgroups. This makes the hotter paths - fork and exit - slower as they're always forced into the slow path. There is no reason to force this on everyone especially given that more common static usage pattern can now completely avoid write-locking the rwsem. Write-locking is elided when turning on and off controllers on empty sub-trees and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP enables seeding a cgroup without grabbing the rwsem. Restore the default percpu operations and introduce the mount option "favordynmods" and config option CGROUP_FAVOR_DYNMODS for users who need lower latencies for the dynamic operations.
