Subject: Add cgroup write_uint() helper method
From: Paul Menage <menage@xxxxxxxxxx>
Add write_uint() helper method for cgroup subsystems
This helper is analagous to the read_uint() helper method for
reporting u64 values to userspace. It's designed to reduce the amount
of boilerplate requierd for creating new cgroup subsystems.
