cgroups: fix a serious bug in cgroupstats



Try this, and you'll get oops immediately:
 # cd Documentation/accounting/
 # gcc -o getdelays getdelays.c
 # mount -t cgroup -o debug xxx /mnt
 # ./getdelays -C /mnt/tasks

Because a normal file's dentry->d_fsdata is a pointer to struct cftype,
not struct cgroup.

After the patch, it returns EINVAL if we try to get cgroupstats
from a normal file.
