[PATCH 7/8] cgroups: Add a task counter subsystem

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Add a new subsystem to limit the number of running tasks,
similar to the NR_PROC rlimit but in the scope of a cgroup.

This is a step to be able to isolate a bit more a cgroup against
the rest of the system and limit the global impact of a fork bomb
inside a given cgroup.
