SubjectRe: [PATCH 3/8] CGroup Files: Move the release_agent file to use typed handlers
Quoting menage@google.com (menage@google.com):
> Adds cgroup_release_agent_write() and cgroup_release_agent_show()
> methods to handle writing/reading the path to a cgroup hierarchy's
> release agent. As a result, cgroup_common_file_read() is now unnecessary.
>
> As part of the change, a previously-tolerated race in
> cgroup_release_agent() is avoided by copying the current
> release_agent_path prior to calling call_usermode_helper().

Would seem more consistent to call the return type bool, but otherwise
this patch looks good.
