cgroup: implement cgroup_add_cftypes() and friends
Currently, cgroup directories are populated by subsys->populate() callback explicitly creating files on each cgroup creation. This level of flexibility isn't needed or desirable. It provides largely unused flexibility which call for abuses while severely limiting what the core layer can do through the lack of structure and conventions. Per each cgroup file type, the only distinction that cgroup users is making is whether a cgroup is root or not, which can easily be expressed with flags. This patch introduces cgroup_add_cftypes(). These deal with cftypes instead of individual files - controllers indicate that certain types of files exist for certain subsystem. Newly added CFTYPE_*_ON_ROOT flags indicate whether a cftype should be excluded or created only on the root cgroup. cgroup_add_cftypes() can be called any time whether the target subsystem is currently attached or not. cgroup core will create files on the existing cgroups as necessary. Also, cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes is added to ease registration of the base files for the subsystem. If non-NULL on subsys init, the cftypes pointed to by ->base_cftypes are automatically registered on subsys init / load. Further patches will convert the existing users and remove the file based interface. Note that this interface allows dynamic addition of files to an active controller. This will be used for sub-controller modularity and unified hierarchy in the longer term. This patch implements the new mechanism but doesn't apply it to any user. v2: replaced DECLARE_CGROUP_CFTYPES[_COND]() with cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes, which works better for cgroup_subsys which is loaded as module.
