cgroup: remove unnecessary empty check when enabling threaded mode
cgroup_enable_threaded() checks that the cgroup doesn't have any tasks
or children and fails the operation if so. This test is unnecessary
because the first part is already checked by
cgroup_can_be_thread_root() and the latter is unnecessary. The latter
actually cause a behavioral oddity. Please consider the following
hierarchy. All cgroups are domains.
A
/ \
B C
\
D
If B is made threaded, C and D becomes invalid domains. Due to the no
children restriction, threaded mode can't be enabled on C. For C and
D, the only thing the user can do is removal.
There is no reason for this restriction. Remove it.
