user namespaces: document CFS behavior
Documented the currently bogus state of support for CFS user groups with user namespaces. In particular, all users in a user namespace should be children of the user which created the user namespace. This is yet to be implemented. Signed-off-by: Serge E. Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com> Acked-by: Dhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Serge E.
