Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] New cgroup subsystem API (->initialize())

From: Balaji Rao <balajirrao@...il.com>

cgroup: Add ->initialize() to cgroup_subsys structure

Some cgroup subsystems (like cpu controller) would need subsystem
specific initialization. Such subsystems can define ->initialize()
which gets called during cgroup_init() (and not cgroup_init_early()).
