Re-use the file descriptor to change the cgroups. There's a fast path
in the kernel for the case where the value's already uncahnged. Also,
this is okay because the kernel ignores the write offset. This is
essentially a ioctl-ish/datagram interface, despite being a fd we're
writing to.
This reduces Dalvik->Dalvik void/void Binder calls on Sapphire from
~1.2 to ~0.8 ms. This is a bit slower than the ~0.7 ms we get
avoiding the write altogether.

- use static /dev/cpuctl filenames, rather than sprintf() on the fly
- use a custom formatter instead of sprintf() for the tid number
This is a simplified version of Dan's original
Ifc9c81f74fe65f0695ead53b30194bc6adf00da0 to be less risky for Froyo.
