[RFC/PATCH 7/8]: CGroup Files: Convert devcgroup_access_write() into a cgroup write_string() handler

[menage@google.com]

[-- Attachment #1: devcgroup_files.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3923 bytes --]

This patch converts devcgroup_access_write() from a raw file handler
into a handler for the cgroup write_string() method. This allows some
boilerplate copying/locking/checking to be removed and simplifies the
cleanup path, since these functions are performed by the cgroups
framework before calling the handler.
