Previously, unit_{start,stop,reload} would call the low-level cgroup
unfreeze function whenever a unit was started, stopped, or reloaded. It
did so with no error checking. This call would ultimately recurse up the
cgroup tree, and unfreeze all the parent cgroups of the unit, unless an
error occurred (in which case I have no idea what would happen...)
After the freeze/thaw rework in a previous commit, this can no longer
work. If we recursively thaw the parent cgroups of the unit, there may
be sibling units marked as PARENT_FROZEN which will no longer actually
have frozen parents. Fixing this is a lot more complicated than simply
disallowing start/stop/reload on a frozen unit
