From my own testing with "inotify_add_watch(fd, file, IN_MODIFY)",
poll() will return with a event whenever a user write to
cpuset.cpus.partition control file. I haven't really look into the sysfs
code yet, but I believe event generation will be automatic in this case.
So I don't think I need to explicitly add a cgroup_file_notify() when
users modify the control file directly. Other indirect modification may
cause the partition value to change to/from PRS_ERROR and I should have
captured all those changes in this patchset. I will update the patch to
note this point to make it more clear.

Cheers,
Longman
