[RFC/PATCH 8/8]: CGroup Files: Convert res_counter_write() to be a cgroups write_string() handler

[menage@google.com]

[-- Attachment #1: res_counter_write.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3972 bytes --]

Currently read_counter_write() is a raw file handler even though it's
ultimately taking a number, since in some cases it wants to
pre-process the string when converting it to a number.

This patch converts res_counter_write() from a raw file handler to a
write_string() handler; this allows some of the boilerplate
copying/locking/checking to be removed, and simplies the cleanup path,
since these functions are now performed by the cgroups framework.
