Currently, when pids.max limit is breached in the hierarchy, the event
is counted and reported in the cgroup where the forking task resides.
This decouples the limit and the notification caused by the limit making
it hard to detect when the actual limit was effected.
Redefine the pids.events:max as: the number of times the limit of the
cgroup was hit.
(Implementation differentiates also "forkfail" event but this is
currently not exposed as it would better fit into pids.stat. It also
differs from pids.events:max only when pids.max is configured on
non-leaf cgroups.)
Since it changes semantics of the original "max" event, introduce this
change only in the v2 API of the controller and add a cgroup2 mount
option to revert to the legacy behavior.
