cgroup: Add deprecation message to legacy freezer controller
As explained in the commit 76f969e8948d8 ("cgroup: cgroup v2 freezer"), the original freezer is imperfect, some users may unwittingly rely on it when there exists the alternative of v2. Print a message when it happens and explain that in the docs. Signed-off-by: Michal Koutný <mkoutny@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
