    cgroup_subsys->fork() callback is special in that it's called outside
    the usual cgroup locking and may race with on-going migration.
    freezer_fork() currently doesn't consider such race condition;
    however, it is still correct thanks to the fact that freeze_task() may
    be called spuriously.
    
    This is quite subtle.  Let's explain what's going on and add test to
    detect racing and losing to task migration and skip freeze_task() in
    such cases for documentation.
    
    This doesn't make any behavior difference meaningful to userland.
