After thinking about it a bit more it, it is probably not a problem to
call cgroup_file_notify() for every change as this is not in a
performance critical path anyway. I will do some more testing to find
out if doing cgroup_file_notify() for regular file write will cause an
extra duplicated event to be sent out, I will probably stay with the
current patch. Otherwise, I can change it to always call
cgroup_file_notify().

Cheers,
