[PATCH 1/3] Cgroups: add the trigger callback to struct cftype

[PATCH 1/3] Cgroups: add the trigger callback to struct cftype

[Pavel Emelyanov]

Trigger callback can be used to receive a kick-up from the
user space. The string written is ignored.

The cftype->private is used for multiplexing events.
