Tejun Heo 6f60eade24 cgroup: generalize obtaining the handles of and notifying cgroup files
cgroup core handles creations and removals of cgroup interface files
as described by cftypes.  There are cases where the handle for a given
file instance is necessary, for example, to generate a file modified
event.  Currently, this is handled by explicitly matching the callback
method pointer and storing the file handle manually in
cgroup_add_file().  While this simple approach works for cgroup core
files, it can't for controller interface files.

This patch generalizes cgroup interface file handle handling.  struct
cgroup_file is defined and each cftype can optionally tell cgroup core
to store the file handle by setting ->file_offset.  A file handle
remains accessible as long as the containing css is accessible.

Both "cgroup.procs" and "cgroup.events" are converted to use the new
generic mechanism instead of hooking directly into cgroup_add_file().
Also, cgroup_file_notify() which takes a struct cgroup_file and
generates a file modified event on it is added and replaces explicit
kernfs_notify() invocations.

This generalizes cgroup file handle handling and allows controllers to
generate file modified notifications.
