This patch allows the cpu.stats values to be reset in cgroups without having to remove and recreate it. I wrote this patch because I've had use cases where resetting the counters made it much easier to read, and it may help with custom userland scripts when parsing statistics.

Many other components of cgroups allows stats to be reset, such as cpuacct.stats. To reset the stats counters, simply `echo 0 > cpu.stats`
