    introduced CGRP_ROOT_SUBSYS_BOUND which is used to mark completion of
    subsys binding on a new root; however, this broke remounts.
    cgroup_remount() doesn't allow changing root options via remount and
    CGRP_ROOT_SUBSYS_BOUND, which is set on all fully initialized roots,
    makes the function reject all remounts.
    
    Fix it by putting the options part in the lower 16 bits of root->flags
    and masking the comparions.  While at it, make cgroup_remount() emit
    an error message explaining why it's rejecting a remount request, so
    that it's less of a mystery.
