[Devel] [PATCH] reject '\n' in a cgroup name

[YAMAMOTO Takashi]

hi,

the following patch rejects '\n' in a cgroup name.
otherwise /proc/$$/cgroup is not parsable.

example:
	imawoto% cat /proc/$$/cgroup
	memory:/
	imawoto% mkdir -p "
	memory:/foo"
	imawoto% echo $$ >| "
	memory:/foo/tasks"
	imawoto% cat /proc/$$/cgroup
	memory:/
	memory:/foo
	imawoto%
