[PATH] cgroup: add cgroup_favordynmods= command-line option

From: Luiz Capitulino
Date: Thu Aug 31 2023 - 10:21:46 EST


We have a need of using favordynmods with cgroup v1, which doesn't support
changing mount flags during remount. Enabling CONFIG_FAVOR_DYNMODS at
build-time is not an option because we want to be able to selectively
enable it for certain systems.

This commit addresses this by introducing the cgroup_favordynmods=
command-line option. This option works for both cgroup v1 and v2 and
also allows for disabling favorynmods when the kernel built with
CONFIG_FAVOR_DYNMODS=y.
