cgroups: remove node_ prefix_from ns subsystem

This is a slight change in the namespace cgroup subsystem api.

The change is that previously when cgroup_clone() was called (currently
only from the unshare path in ns_proxy cgroup, you'd get a new group named
"node_$pid" whereas now you'll get a group named after just your pid.)

The only users who would notice it are those who are using the ns_proxy
cgroup subsystem to auto-create cgroups when namespaces are unshared -
something of an experimental feature, which I think really needs more
complete container/namespace support in order to be useful.  I suspect the
only users are Cedric and Serge, or maybe a few others on
containers@lists.linux-foundation.org.  And in fact it would only be
noticed by the users who make the assumption about how the name is
generated, rather than getting it from the /proc/<pid>/cgroups file for
the process in question.

Whether the change is actually needed or not I'm fairly agnostic on, but I
guess it is more elegant to just us...
