[Paul Menage <menage@google.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: cgroup_write_uint_strstrip.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 841 bytes --]

Strip all trailing whitespace in cgroup_write_uint

This removes the need for people to remember to pass the -n flag to
echo when writing values to cgroup control files.
