This patch adds a new bpf helper bpf_task_freeze_cgroup() to freeze a
cgroup of a task and all its descendant cgroups. It requires the task
to be on the default cgroup v2 hierarchy.

For some cases we want to freeze the cgroup of a task based on some
signals, doing so from bpf is better than user space which could be
too late.

Planned users of this feature are: tetragon and systemd when freezing
a cgroup hierarchy that could be a K8s pod, container, system service
or a user session.

This helper will acquire the cgroup_mutex during its operation and
release it before it returns.
