cgroup: deprecate remount option changes
This patch marks the following features for deprecation.
* Rebinding subsys by remount: Never reached useful state - only works
on empty hierarchies.
* release_agent update by remount: release_agent itself will be
replaced with conventional fsnotify notification.
v2: Lennart pointed out that "name=" is necessary for mounts w/o any
controller attached. Drop "name=" deprecation.
