cgroup: deprecate remount option changes 

This patch marks the following features for deprecation.

* Rebinding subsys by remount: Never reached useful state - only works
  on empty hierarchies.

* release_agent update by remount: release_agent itself will be
  replaced with conventional fsnotify notification.

v2: Lennart pointed out that "name=" is necessary for mounts w/o any
    controller attached.  Drop "name=" deprecation.

@ -539,3 +539,12 @@ Why: There appear to be no production users of the get_robust_list syscall,
of ASLR. It was only ever intended for debugging, so it should be
removed.

----------------------------
What: cgroup option updates via remount
When: March 2013
Why: Remount currently allows changing bound subsystems and
release_agent. Rebinding is hardly useful as it only works
when the hierarchy is empty and release_agent itself should be
replaced with conventional fsnotify.
