  selftests/cgroup: test pids.events notification (2026-10-16 09:52:06 -1000)

----------------------------------------------------------------
cgroup: Changes for v7.4

- A write to cgroup.subtree_control or cgroup.type could hang in D state for
  as long as a task pinning a dying controller took to exit, as syzbot
  reported. The wait is now interruptible.

- cpuset: the deadline bandwidth check ran on cpusets that weren't valid
  partition roots, failing cpuset writes with -EBUSY while deadline tasks
  existed. The CPU count the fair class takes from cpuset assumed a shared
  hierarchy that cgroup1 may not have.

- Finding a cgroup's effective controller state no longer walks up the
  hierarchy, for per-I/O users such as nvmet. io.stat reads of cgroups
  without block devices skip the stat flush.

- cpuset v1-only code moved to the v1 file and the exclusive flag dropped
  from v2, with documentation corrections for partition roots and
  boot-isolated CPUs.

- Dead cgroups fail writes with -ENODEV consistently, plus small cleanups.

- Selftest fixes, most visibly for tests that skipped on machines with many
  mounts, and a new pids.events notification test.
