[RFC] splitting cgroup.c

While working on cgroup xattr, it appeared to me it's better to
create a cgroup_xattr.c instead of stuffing things into cgroup.c.

Then I took a look at how big it is.

$ ls -l -S kernel/*.c
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lizf lizf 142717 Jan 18 10:15 cgroup.c
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lizf lizf 106498 Jan 18 10:15 workqueue.c
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lizf lizf 105206 Jan 18 10:15 lockdep.c
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lizf lizf 91321 Jan 18 10:16 module.c

$ wc -l kernel/*.c | sort -n -r
90397 total
5289 cgroup.c
4206 lockdep.c
3840 workqueue.c
3507 module.c

So I think for the sake of readability and maintainability, we'd
better split cgroup.c into smaller pieces:

- event_control.c
- css_id.c
- debug.c
- proc.c
- super.c
...
- cgroup.c

We may add xattr.c and release_agency.c as I'm working on them.

Any objection?
