Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] cpusets: add load avgerage interface

Add the new file loadavg to report the load average of the cpus assigned
to the cpuset cgroup.

The load average is reported using the typical three values as they
appear in /proc/loadavg, averaged over 1, 5 and 15 minutes.

Example:
  # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/foo/cpuset.loadavg
  3.98 2.64 1.20
