Subject: [PATCH v6 02/12] cgroup: implement CFTYPE_NO_PREFIX

From: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org>

When cgroup files are created, cgroup core automatically prepends the
name of the subsystem as prefix.  This patch adds CFTYPE_NO_PREFIX
which disables the automatic prefix.

This will be used to deprecate cpuacct which will make cpu create and
serve the cpuacct files.
