PATCH 1/1 cgroup, doc: make cgroup_disable doc accurater

In doc, it said that 'Currently supported controllers - "memory"', but actually we can use cgroup_disable=cpu,cpuset and all other controllers, so this is confusing for cgroup users without much cgroup knowledge. We need to make it clear.

[some comments copied from Paul Menage's original patch 8bab8dded]
