Added a new function cgroup_get_from_kernfs_id  to retrieve the cgroup
associated with cgroup id.
It takes cgroupid as an argument and returns cgrp and on failure
it returns NULL.
Exported the same as this can be used by blk-cgorup.c

Added function declaration of cgroup_get_from_kernfs_id in cgorup.h
