Documentation: update cgroup pid and cpuset information
The cgroup documentation does not specify how a process can be removed
from a particular group. This patch adds a note at the end of the
simple example about how this is done. Also, some cgroups (like
cpusets) require user input before a new group can be used. This is
noted in the patch as well.
