[Devel] [RFC PATCH 2/2] cgroup/freezer: add per freezer duty ratio control

From: Jacob Pan <jacob.jun.pan at linux.intel.com>

Freezer subsystem is used to manage batch jobs which can start
stop at the same time. However, sometime it is desirable to let
the kernel manage the freezer state automatically with a given
duty ratio.
For example, if we want to reduce the time that backgroup apps
are allowed to run we can put them into a freezer subsystem and
set the kernel to turn them THAWED/FROZEN at given duty ratio.

This patch introduces two file nodes
freezer.duty_ratio and freezer.period_ms
Usage example, set period to be 50 ms and frozen duty ratio 90%
[root at localhost aoa]# echo 90 > freezer.duty_ratio
[root at localhost aoa]# echo 50 > freezer.period_ms

Each freezer will be controlled by its own kernel thread which is
in sleep unless there is a state/parameter change.
