[LTP] [PATCH v3 0/7] CGroup API rewrite

[Richard Palethorpe <rpalethorpe@suse.com>]

Hello,

This is a complete rewrite of the CGroups API. It has big changes even
compared to V2 of the patchset. To understand why this is so
complicated, please see the commments in tst_cgroup.h and
tst_cgroup.c.

V3:

* Replaced the object API with a string based lookup.

* Replaced tst_cgroup_css struct and name mapping functions with an
  item info tree.

* Merged the header files again as there is no longer much seperation
  between the core and item parts of the library.

* Rename some variables and functions to make them more consistent.

V2:

* Created an object (Item) API which looks a bit like the unified V2
  hierarchy. The implementation is quite verbose, but not complicated
  IMO.

* Add the ability to extend the LTP CGroup hierarchy with child
  groups. We already have a reproducer that requires such a hierarchy,
  but I have not had chance to turn it into a test case yet.

* Add documentation for the new API in test-writing-guidelines.txt.

* Convert madvise06 to the CGroups API

* Better error reporting for the *at functions. Add tst_decode_fd
  which tries to print the path an FD was opened with.

TODO/NOTES:

* There are other tests which mount CGroups in an ad-hoc way and need
  to be converted to the new API. This at least includes memcg_test_3
  and maybe cgroup_xattr.
