cgroup files: add write_string cgroup control file method



This patch adds a write_string() method for cgroups control files. The
semantics are that a buffer is copied from userspace to kernelspace
and the handler function invoked on that buffer.  The buffer is
guaranteed to be nul-terminated, and no longer than max_write_len
(defaulting to 64 bytes if unspecified). Later patches will convert
existing raw file write handlers in control group subsystems to use
this method.
