cgroup: handle ENODEV on cg_read_pid() gracefully

The recently added test case TEST-07-PID1.subgroup-kill.sh surfaced a
race: if we enumerate PIDs in a cgroup, and the cgroup is unlinked at
the very same time reading will result in ENODEV. We need to handle that
gracefully. Hence let's do so.

Noticed while looking at:
