Looks fine from a cleanliness PoV, although since we don't actually do
anything with an error result from subsys->populate() (a behaviour
that I sort of inherited from cpusets ...) it won't make a whole lot
of difference to the code.

A better change would be to make cpuset_populate() use cgroup_add_files().
