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.
