cgroupns: Only allow creation of hierarchies in the initial cgroup namespace

Unprivileged users can't use hierarchies if they create them as they do not
have privilieges to the root directory.

Which means the only thing a hiearchy created by an unprivileged user
is good for is expanding the number of cgroup links in every css_set,
which is a DOS attack.

We could allow hierarchies to be created in namespaces in the initial
user namespace.  Unfortunately there is only a single namespace for
the names of heirarchies, so that is likely to create more confusion
than not.

So do the simple thing and restrict hiearchy creation to the initial
cgroup namespace.
