This patch introduced numa execution time information, to imply the numa
efficiency.
By doing 'cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/CGROUP_PATH/cpu.numa_stat', we see new
output line heading with 'exectime', like:
exectime 311900 407166
which means the tasks of this cgroup executed 311900 micro seconds on
node 0, and 407166 ms on node 1.
Combined with the memory node info from memory cgroup, we can estimate
the numa efficiency, for example if the memory.numa_stat show:
total=206892 N0=21933 N1=185171
By monitoring the increments, if the topology keep in this way and
locality is not nice, then it imply numa balancing can't help migrate
the memory from node 1 to 0 which is accessing by tasks on node 0, or
tasks can't migrate to node 1 for some reason, then you may consider
to bind the workloads on the cpus of node 1.

Since v1:
* move implementation from memory cgroup into cpu group
* exectime now accounting in hierarchical way
* change member name into jiffies
