cgroups: mechanism to process each task in a cgroup

Provide cgroup_scan_tasks(), which iterates through every task in a cgroup,
calling a test function and a process function for each.  And call the process
function without holding the css_set_lock lock.

The idea is David Rientjes', predicting that such a function will make it much
easier in the future to extend things that require access to each task in a
cgroup without holding the lock,
