[Devel] [RFC/PATCH 4/8]: CGroup Files: Move notify_on_release file to separate write handler

[menage at google.com]

This patch moves the write handler for the cgroups notify_on_release
file into a separate handler. This handler requires no cgroups locking
since it relies on atomic bitops for synchronization.
