Currently the virCgroupPtr struct contains 3 pieces of
information
- path - path of the cgroup, relative to current process'
cgroup placement
- placement - current process' placement in each controller
- mounts - mount point of each controller
When reading/writing cgroup settings, the path & placement
strings are combined to form the file path. This approach
only works if we assume all cgroups will be relative to
the current process' cgroup placement.
To allow support for managing cgroups at any place in the
heirarchy a change is needed. The 'placement' data should
reflect the absolute path to the cgroup, and the 'path'
value should no longer be used to form the paths to the
cgroup attribute files.

Rename all the virCgroupForXXX methods to use the form
virCgroupNewXXX since they are all constructors. Also
make sure the output parameter is the last one in the
list, and annotate all pointers as non-null. Fix up
all callers, and make sure they use true/false not 0/1
for the boolean parameters

The definition of structs for cgroups are kept in vircgroup.c since
they are intended to be private from users of the API. To enable
effective testing, however, they need to be accessible. To address
the latter issue, without compronmising the former, this introduces
a new vircgrouppriv.h file to hold the struct definitions.
To prevent other files including this private header, it requires
that __VIR_CGROUP_ALLOW_INCLUDE_PRIV_H__ be defined before inclusion

The virCgroupForDriver method recently gained an 'int controllers'
parameter, but the stub impl did not

The virCgroupMounted method is badly named, since a controller can be
mounted, but disabled in the current object. Rename the method to be
virCgroupHasController. Also make it tolerant to a NULL virCgroupPtr
and out-of-range controller index, to avoid duplication of these
checks in all callers

Currently when getting an instance of virCgroupPtr we will
create the path in all cgroup controllers. Only at the virt
driver layer are we attempting to filter controllers. This
is bad because the mere act of creating the dirs in the
controllers can have a functional impact on the kernel,
particularly for performance.
Update the virCgroupForDriver() method to accept a bitmask
of controllers to use. Only create dirs in the controllers
that are requested. When creating cgroups for domains,
respect the active controller list from the parent cgroup

The virCgroupGetAppRoot is not clear in its meaning. Change
to virCgroupForSelf to highlight that this returns the
cgroup config for the caller's process

The code for putting the emulator threads in a separate cgroup
would spam the logs with warnings
2013-02-27 16:08:26.731+0000: 29624: warning : virCgroupMoveTask:887 : no vm cgroup in controller 3
2013-02-27 16:08:26.731+0000: 29624: warning : virCgroupMoveTask:887 : no vm cgroup in controller 4
2013-02-27 16:08:26.732+0000: 29624: warning : virCgroupMoveTask:887 : no vm cgroup in controller 6
This is because it has only created child cgroups for 3 of the
controllers, but was trying to move the processes from all the
controllers. The fix is to only try to move threads in the
controllers we actually created. Also remove the warning and
make it return a hard error to avoid such lazy callers in the
future.
