Kenny Yu 135b8b37bd cgroup: Add pids controller event when fork fails because of pid limit
This patch adds more visibility into the pids controller when the controller
rejects a fork request. Whenever fork fails because the limit on the number of
pids in the cgroup is reached, the controller will log this and also notify the
newly added cgroups events file. The `max` key in the events file represents
the number of times fork failed because of the pids controller.

This change also logs only the first time the `max` event counter is
incremented. This is to provide a hint to the user to understand why fork
failed, as users are not yet used to seeing fork failures because of the
pids controller.

/*
* Process number limiting controller for cgroups.
*
* Used to allow a cgroup hierarchy to stop any new processes from fork()ing
* after a certain limit is reached.
*
* Since it is trivial to hit the task limit without hitting any kmemcg limits
* in place, PIDs are a fundamental resource. As such, PID exhaustion must be
* preventable in the scope of a cgroup hierarchy by allowing resource limiting
* of the number of tasks in a cgroup.
*
* In order to use the `pids` controller, set the maximum number of tasks in
* pids.max (this is not available in the root cgroup for obvious reasons). The
* number of processes currently in the cgroup is given by pids.current.
* Organisational operations are not blocked by cgroup policies, so it is
* possible to have pids.current > pids.max. However, it is not possible to
* violate a cgroup policy through fork(). fork() will return -EAGAIN if forking
* would cause a cgroup policy to be violated.
*
* To set a cgroup to have no limit, set pids.max to "max". This is the default
* for all new cgroups (N.B. that PID limits are hierarchical, so the most
* stringent limit in the hierarchy is followed).
*
* pids.current tracks all child cgroup hierarchies, so parent/pids.current is
* a superset of parent/child/pids.current.
