These aren't so much 'cleanups' as feature enhancements and fixes for the first
pass of those enhancements (at least in the case of the net_prio cgroup).  I've
nothing against them, but since we're still going through some churn on the
net_prio variant, it may be best to wait until thats settled before moving them
over to net_cls.
