freezer_cg: disable writing freezer.state of root cgroup

With this change, control file 'freezer.state' doesn't exist in root
cgroup, making root cgroup unfreezable.

I think it's reasonable to disallow freeze tasks in the root cgroup.  And
then we can avoid fork overhead when freezer subsystem is compiled but not
used.

Also make writing invalid value to freezer.state returns EINVAL rather
than EIO.  This is more consistent with other cgroup subsystem.
