[PATCH 5/9] cgroup: update error handling in cgroup_populate_dir()

cgroup_populate_dir() didn't use to check whether the actual file
creations were successful and could return success with only subset of
the requested files created, which is nasty.

This patch udpates cgroup_populate_dir() so that it either succeeds
with all files or fails with no file.
