-Called after creation of a cgroup to allow a subsystem to populate
-the cgroup directory with file entries.  The subsystem should make
-calls to cgroup_add_file() with objects of type cftype (see
-include/linux/cgroup.h for details).  Note that although this
-method can return an error code, the error code is currently not
-always handled well.
