What are these checks for? Cgroups already provides filesystem
permissions to control directory creation, and the "descendant" check
looks like it may have been cut/pasted from the nsproxy subsystem.

To fit with the convention for other subsystems, simply "cfq" would be
a better name than "cfq_cgroup". (Clearly it's a cgroup subsystem from
context).

Is this subsystem meant to allow you to control any device that uses
CFQ, or is it specific to disks? It would be nice to be able to allow
different groups have different guarantees on different disks.
