As a failsafe we may want to put a hard limit on memory.limit_in_bytes
and memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes when using cgroups. This patch adds
MaxRAMPercent and MaxSwapPercent which are taken as percentages of
available RAM (RealMemory as reported by slurmd), and which will be
applied as upper bounds when creating memory controller cgroups.

Add conf->real_memory_size to the list of slurmd_conf_t members that
are propagated to slurmstepd during a job step launch. This makes the
amount of RAM available on the system (as determined by slurmd) available
for use in slurmstepd plugins or slurmstepd itself, without having to
recalculate its value.

There was some duplicated code in task_cgroup_memory_create. In order
to facilitate extending this code in the future, refactor it into
a common function memcg_initialize().

The example cgroup release agent packaged and installed with
SLURM assumes a base directory of /cgroup for all mounted
subsystems. Since the mount point is now configurable in SLURM,
this script needs to be augmented to determine the location
of the subsystem mount point at runtime.

cgroups code currently assumes cgroup subsystems will be mounted
under /cgroup, which is not the ideal location for many situations.
Add a new cgroup.conf parameter to redefine the mount point to an
arbitrary location. (for example, some systems may already have
cgroupfs mounted under /dev/cgroup or /sys/fs/cgroup)

Prevent slurmctld crashing with divide by zero with a configuration of MaxMemPerCPU=0.

PluginDir is a path. It shouldn't be an error to have duplicate
plugins in your path. Plus, the error is not helpful because it
doesn't specify which path is not being loaded. Therefore, just
remove the error and load the first plugin in the path as expected.

The slurmctld code that processes job notify messages unecessarily

salloc/mpirun does not play well together with task affinity socket binding.  The following example illustrates the problem.

[sulu] (slurm) mnp> salloc -p bones-only -N1-1 -n3 --cpu_bind=socket mpirun cat /proc/self/status | grep Cpus_allowed_list
salloc: Granted job allocation 387
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
An invalid physical processor id was returned ...

The problem is that with mpirun jobs Slurm launches only a single task, regardless of the value of -n. This confuses the socket binding logic in task affinity.  The result is that task affinity binds the task to only a single cpu, instead of all the allocated cpus on the socket.  When mpi attempts to bind to any of the other allocated cpus on the socket, it gets the "invalid physical processor id" error. Note that the problem may occur even if socket binding is not explicitly requested by the user.  If task/affinity is configured and the allocated CPUs are a whole number of sockets, Slurm will use "implicit auto binding" to sockets, triggering the problem.
