[PATCH V2 01/10] cgroup: add hook seq_show_cft with also the owning cftype as parameter

[Paolo Valente]

The current implementation of the seq_show hook in the cftype struct
has only, as parameters, the seq_file to write to and the arguments
passed by the command line. Thus, the only way to retrieve the cftype
that owns an instance of such hook function is by using the accessor
in the seq_file itself.

But in a future scenario where the same file may be shared by multiple
cftypes, this accessor will point only to the first of the cftypes
linked to the seq_file. It will then be impossible to access the
cftype owning the seq_show function within the seq_show itself, unless
such cftype is the first one.

This commit adds an additional seq_show_cft hook that has as a formal
parameter also the cftype that owns the function.
