cgroups: relax ns_can_attach checks to allow attaching to grandchild cgroups

The ns_proxy cgroup allows moving processes to child cgroups only one
level deep at a time.  This commit relaxes this restriction and makes it
possible to attach tasks directly to grandchild cgroups, e.g.:

($pid is in the root cgroup)
echo $pid > /cgroup/CG1/CG2/tasks

Previously this operation would fail with -EPERM and would have to be
performed as two steps:
echo $pid > /cgroup/CG1/tasks
echo $pid > /cgroup/CG1/CG2/tasks

Also, the target cgroup no longer needs to be empty to move a task there.
