cgroup: Optionally add process and task to a subsystems subset

In some cases, one may want to add processes and task only to certain
subsystems in a cgroup. For example, when a cgroup is created to only
limit a given subsystem usage, but leaves all other subsystems
unconstrained, there may be a need to move a process to only the
contrained cgroup subsystem while leaving it in another cgroup for
other subsystems.

This commit makes the Control interface process and task addition
functions variadic, in order to pass an optional list of subsystems that
behave as s subsystems filter.
