threadgroup_change_begin/end() are used to mark the beginning and end
of threadgroup modifying operations to allow code paths which require
a threadgroup to stay stable across blocking operations to synchronize
against those sections using threadgroup_lock/unlock().
It's currently implemented as a general mechanism in sched.h using
per-signal_struct rwsem; however, this never grew non-cgroup use cases
and becomes noop if !CONFIG_CGROUPS. It turns out that cgroups is
gonna be better served with a different sycnrhonization scheme and is
a bit silly to keep cgroups specific details as a general mechanism.
What's general here is identifying the places where threadgroups are
modified. This patch restructures threadgroup locking so that
threadgroup_change_begin/end() become a place where subsystems which
need to sycnhronize against threadgroup changes can hook into.
cgroup_threadgroup_change_begin/end() which operate on the
per-signal_struct rwsem are created and threadgroup_lock/unlock() are
moved to cgroup.c and made static.
This is pure reorganization which doesn't cause any functional
changes.

This patch separates out cgroup-defs.h from cgroup.h which has grown a
lot of dependencies. cgroup-defs.h currently only contains constant
and type definitions and can be used to break circular include
dependency. While moving, definitions are reordered so that
cgroup-defs.h has consistent logical structure.
This patch is pure reorganization.
