Subject: [PATCH 2/8] cgroups: New resource counter inheritance API

Provide an API to inherit a counter value from a parent.
This can be useful to implement cgroup.clone_children on
a resource counter.

Still the resources of the children are limited by those
of the parent, so this is only to provide a default setting
behaviour when clone_children is set.
