[PATCH 6/9] [RFC] Remove the cgroup_subsys.bind callback

[Paul Menage]

[RFC] Remove the cgroup_subsys.bind callback

In preparation for supporting cgroup subsystems that can be bound to
multiple hierarchies, remove the "bind" callback. It's not currently
used by any in-tree subsystem and its semantics become fuzzy for
multi-bindable subsystems.  It can be re-added with clearer semantics
in the future if necessary.

-Called when a cgroup subsystem is rebound to a different hierarchy

-the default hierarchy (which never has sub-cgroups) and a hierarchy
-that is being created/destroyed (and hence has no sub-cgroups).
