cgroups: add cgroup support for enabling controllers at boot time

Browse Source 
The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are:

- foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in a single hierarchy
- foo isn't visible as an individually mountable subsystem

As a result there will only ever be one call to foo->create(), at init time;
all processes will stay in this group, and the group will never be mounted on
a visible hierarchy.  Any additional effects (e.g.  not allocating metadata)
are up to the foo subsystem.

This doesn't handle early_init subsystems (their "disabled" bit isn't set be,
but it could easily be extended to do so if any of the early_init systems
wanted it - I think it would just involve some nastier parameter processing
since it would occur before the command-line argument parser had been run.

  Ballpark figures, I'm trying to get this question out rather than
  processing the exact numbers: CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR adds 15% overhead
  to the affected paths, booting with cgroup_disable=memory cuts that back to
  1% overhead (due to slightly bigger struct page).

  I'm no expert on distros, they may have no interest whatever in
  CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y; and the rest of us can easily build with or
  without it, or apply the cgroup_disable=memory patches.

Unix bench's execl test result on x86_64 was

== just after boot without mounting any cgroup fs.==
mem_cgorup=off : Execl Throughput       43.0     3150.1      732.6
mem_cgroup=on  : Execl Throughput       43.0     2932.6      682.0
