[PATCH v3 1/6] cgroup: Allow registration and lookup of cgroup private data

There are cases where other parts of the kernel may wish to store data
associated with individual cgroups without building a full cgroup
controller.  Let's add interfaces to allow them to register and lookup
this private data for individual cgroups.

A kernel system (e.g., a driver) that wishes to register private data
for a cgroup will do so by subclassing the 'struct cgroup_priv'
structure to describe the necessary data to store.  Before registering a
private data structure to a cgroup, the caller should fill in the 'key'
and 'free' fields of the base cgroup_priv structure.

 * 'key' should be a unique void* that will act as a key for future
   privdata lookups/removals.  Note that this allows drivers to store
   per-device private data for a cgroup by using a device pointer as a key.

 * 'free' should be a function pointer to a function that may be used
   to destroy the private data.  This function will be called
   automatically if the underlying cgroup is destroyed.
