cgroups: subsystem module loading interface

Add interface between cgroups subsystem management and module loading

This patch implements rudimentary module-loading support for cgroups -
namely, a cgroup_load_subsys (similar to cgroup_init_subsys) for use as a
module initcall, and a struct module pointer in struct cgroup_subsys.

Several functions that might be wanted by modules have had EXPORT_SYMBOL
added to them, but it's unclear exactly which functions want it and which
won't.
