Documentation: update cgroup pid and cpuset information

The cgroup documentation does not specify how a process can be removed
from a particular group.  This patch adds a note at the end of the
simple example about how this is done.  Also, some cgroups (like
cpusets) require user input before a new group can be used.  This is
noted in the patch as well.

Note: Some subsystems do not work without some user input first. For instance,
if cpusets are enabled the user will have to populate the cpus and mems files
for each new cgroup created before that group can be used.

# echo 0 > tasks
Note: Since every task is always a member of exactly one cgroup in each
mounted hierarchy, to remove a task from its current cgroup you must
move it into a new cgroup (possibly the root cgroup) by writing to the
new cgroup's tasks file.
Note: If the ns cgroup is active, moving a process to another cgroup can
fail.
