Subject[PATCH] cgroup: deprecate remount option changes mount option
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.

+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
