cgroups: make procs file writable

Make procs file writable to move all threads by tgid at once.

Add functionality that enables users to move all threads in a threadgroup
at once to a cgroup by writing the tgid to the 'cgroup.procs' file.  This
current implementation makes use of a per-threadgroup rwsem that's taken
for reading in the fork() path to prevent newly forking threads within the
threadgroup from "escaping" while the move is in progress.
