CGroups _s64 files: add cgroups read_s64/write_s64 file methods

These patches add cgroups read_s64 and write_s64 control file methods (the
signed equivalent of read_u64/write_u64) and use them to implement the
cpu.rt_runtime_us control file in the CFS cgroup subsystem.

This patch:

These are the signed equivalents of the read_u64/write_u64 methods
