core: add cgroup CPU controller support on the unified hierarchy
Unfortunately, due to the disagreements in the kernel development community, CPU controller cgroup v2 support has not been merged and enabling it requires applying two small out-of-tree kernel patches. The situation is explained in the following documentation. https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup.git/tree/Documentation/cgroup-v2-cpu.txt?h=cgroup-v2-cpu While it isn't clear what will happen with CPU controller cgroup v2 support, there are critical features which are possible only on cgroup v2 such as buffered write control making cgroup v2 essential for a lot of workloads. This commit implements systemd CPU controller support on the unified hierarchy so that users who choose to deploy CPU controller cgroup v2 support can easily take advantage of it. On the unified hierarchy, "cpu.weight" knob replaces "cpu.shares" and "cpu.max" replaces "cpu.cfs_period_us" and "cpu.cfs_quota_us". [Startup]CPUWeight config options are added with the usual compat translation. CPU quota settings remain unchanged and apply to both legacy and unified hierarchies. v2: - Error in man page corrected. - CPU config application in cgroup_context_apply() refactored. - CPU accounting now works on unified hierarchy.
