  Hi Reinette, Fenghua,

This patch series implements the solution Reinette suggested in the
earlier RFD thread[1] for the problem of moving a container's tasks to a
different control group on systems that don't provide enough CLOSIDs to
give every container its own control group.

This patch series assumes that a MON group's CLOSID can simply be
changed to that of a new parent CTRL_MON group. This is allowed on Intel
and AMD, but not MPAM implementations. While we (Google) only foresee
needing this functionality on Intel and AMD systems, this series should
hopefully be a good starting point for supporting MPAM.

Thanks!
-Peter

Updates:

v3: use revised task CLOSID/RMID update IPI sync method from [3]
v2: reworded change logs based on what I've learned from review comments
    in another patch series[2]
