cgroup_freezer: document freezer_fork() subtleties
cgroup_subsys->fork() callback is special in that it's called outside
the usual cgroup locking and may race with on-going migration.
freezer_fork() currently doesn't consider such race condition;
however, it is still correct thanks to the fact that freeze_task() may
be called spuriously.
This is quite subtle. Let's explain what's going on and add test to
detect racing and losing to task migration and skip freeze_task() in
such cases for documentation.
This doesn't make any behavior difference meaningful to userland.
