test_cgcore_populated (test_core) and test_cgkill_{simple,tree,forkbomb}
(test_kill) check cgroup.events "populated 0" immediately after reaping
child tasks with waitpid(). This used to work because cgroup_task_exit() in
do_exit() unlinked tasks from css_sets before exit_notify() woke up
waitpid().
d245698d727a ("cgroup: Defer task cgroup unlink until after the task is done
switching out") moved the unlink to cgroup_task_dead() in
finish_task_switch(), which runs after exit_notify(). The populated counter
is now decremented after the parent's waitpid() can return, so there is no
longer a synchronous ordering guarantee. On PREEMPT_RT, where
cgroup_task_dead() is further deferred through lazy irq_work, the race
window is even larger.
The synchronous populated transition was never part of the cgroup interface
contract - it was an implementation artifact. Use cg_read_strcmp_wait() which
retries for up to 1 second, matching what these tests actually need to
verify: that the cgroup eventually becomes unpopulated after all tasks exit.

Introduce a new helper function `cg_read_key_long_poll()` in
cgroup_util.h. This function polls the specified key in a cgroup file
until it matches the expected value or the retry limit is reached,
with configurable wait intervals between retries.
This helper is particularly useful for handling asynchronously updated
cgroup statistics (e.g., memory.stat), where immediate reads may
observe stale values, especially on busy systems. It allows tests and
other utilities to handle such cases more flexibly.

Some cgroup selftests, such as test_cpu, occasionally fail by a very
small margin and if run in the CI context, it is useful to have detailed
diagnostic output to understand the deviation.
Introduce a values_close_report() helper which performs the same
comparison as values_close(), but prints detailed information when the
values differ beyond the allowed tolerance.

The predicates in test expect event counting from 73e75e6fc352b
("cgroup/pids: Separate semantics of pids.events related to pids.max")
and the test would fail on older kernels. We want to have one version of
tests for all, so detect the feature and skip the test on old kernels.
(The test could even switch to check v1 semantics based on the flag but
keep it simple for now.)

Add an API in the cgroups library to find the root of a specific
controller. KVM selftests will use the API to find the memory controller.
Search for the controller on both v1 and v2 mounts, as KVM selftests'
usage will be completely oblivious of v1 versus v2.

KVM selftests will soon need to use some of the cgroup creation and
deletion functionality from cgroup_util.
