cgroup: make interface files visible iff enabled on cgroup->subtree_control
cgroup is implementing support for subsystem dependency which would require a way to enable a subsystem even when it's not directly configured through "cgroup.subtree_control". The preceding patch distinguished cgroup->subtree_control and ->child_subsys_mask where the former is the subsystems explicitly configured by the userland and the latter is all enabled subsystems currently is equal to the former but will include subsystems implicitly enabled through dependency. Subsystems which are enabled due to dependency shouldn't be visible to userland. This patch updates cgroup_subtree_control_write() and create_css() such that interface files are not created for implicitly enabled subsytems. * @visible paramter is added to create_css(). Interface files are created only when true. * If an already implicitly enabled subsystem is turned on through "cgroup.subtree_control", the existing css should be used. css draining is skipped. * cgroup_subtree_control_write() computes the new target cgroup->child_subsys_mask and create/kill or show/hide csses accordingly. As the two subsystem masks are still kept identical, this patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes.
