cgroup.kill
A write-only single value file which exists in non-root cgroups.
The only allowed value is "1".
Writing "1" to the file causes the cgroup and all descendant cgroups to
be killed. This means that all processes located in the affected cgroup
tree will be killed via SIGKILL.
Killing a cgroup tree will deal with concurrent forks appropriately and
is protected against migrations.
In a threaded cgroup, writing this file fails with EOPNOTSUPP as
killing cgroups is a process directed operation, i.e. it affects
the whole thread-group.
