cgroup: Add compatibility option for content of /proc/cgroups
[ Upstream commit 646faf36d7271c597497ca547a59912fcab49be9 ] /proc/cgroups lists only v1 controllers by default, however, this is only enforced since the commit af000ce85293b ("cgroup: Do not report unavailable v1 controllers in /proc/cgroups") and there is software in the wild that uses content of /proc/cgroups to decide on availability of v2 (sic) controllers. Add a boottime param that can bring back the previous behavior for setups where the check in the software cannot be changed and it causes e.g. unintended OOMs. Also, this patch takes out cgrp_v1_visible from cgroup1_subsys_absent() guard since it's only important to check which hierarchy (v1 vs v2) the subsys is attached to. This has no effect on the printed message but the code is cleaner since cgrp_v1_visible is really about mounted hierarchies, not the content of /proc/cgroups.
