Hi Kame,

Let me tell you the direction I am going wrt task movement: The only
reasons I haven't included so far, is that I believe it needs more
testing, and as you know, I am right now more interested in getting past
the initial barriers for inclusion. I am committed to fix anything that
needs to be fixed - stylish or non-stylish before we remove the
experimental flag.

So what I intend to do, is to basically
* lock the task,
* scan through its file descriptors list,
* identify which of them are sockets,
* cast them to struct sock *,
* see if it has a cgrp associated
* see if cgrp == from

At this point we can decrement sockets allocated by 1 in from, and
memory_allocated by sk_forward_alloc (increasing by equal quantities in
the destination cgroup)

I belive it will work.
