cgroup: fix rule checking for threaded mode switching
A domain cgroup isn't allowed to be turned threaded if its subtree is
populated or domain controllers are enabled. cgroup_enable_threaded()
depended on cgroup_can_be_thread_root() test to enforce this rule. A
parent which has populated domain descendants or have domain
controllers enabled can't become a thread root, so the above rules are
enforced automatically.
However, for the root cgroup which can host mixed domain and threaded
children, cgroup_can_be_thread_root() doesn't check any of those
conditions and thus first level cgroups ends up escaping those rules.
This patch fixes the bug by adding explicit checks for those rules in
cgroup_enable_threaded().
