[ Hi - the following patch has been applied to Tejun's
cgroup/for-3.13 branch.  It's needed for non-root users to be
able to create containers ]

It is really only wanting to duplicate a check which is already done by the
cgroup subsystem.

With this patch, user jdoe still cannot move pid 1 into a devices cgroup
he owns, but now he can move his own other tasks into devices cgroups.
