cgroup: fix strstrip() misuse
cgroup_write_X64() and cgroup_write_string() ignore the return value of strstrip(). it makes small inconsistent behavior. example: ========================= # cd /mnt/cgroup/hoge # cat memory.swappiness 60 # echo "59 " > memory.swappiness # cat memory.swappiness 59 # echo " 58" > memory.swappiness bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument This patch fixes it.
