[PATCH] vircgroup: Improve virCgroupControllerAvailable wrt to CGroupsV2

[Michal Privoznik]

It all started as a simple bug: trying to move domain memory
between NUMA nodes (e.g. via virsh numatune) did not work. I've
traced the problem to qemuProcessHook() because that's where we
decide whether to rely on CGroups or use numactl APIs to satisfy
<numatune/>. The problem was that virCgroupControllerAvailable()
was telling us that cpuset controller is unavailable. This is
CGroupsV2, and pretty weird because CGroupsV2 definitely do
support cpuset controller and I had them mounted in a standard
way. What I found out (with Pavel's help) was that
virCgroupNewSelf() was looking into the following path to detect
supported controllers:

  /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/cgroup.controllers

However, if there's no other VM running then the system.slice
only has 'memory' and 'pids' controllers. Therefore, we saw
'cpuset' as not available. The fix is to look at the top most
path, which has the full set of controllers:

  /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.controllers
