[Bug 1271531] [NEW] Specifying cgset -r multiple times fails

[Ken Sharp]

Public bug reported:

>From the man page:

-r <name=value>
              defines  name  of the file to set and the value which should be written to that file.  This parameter can
              be used multiple times.

However:

$ cgset -r cpu.cfs_quota_us=10000 -r cpu.cfs_period_us=50000 gomez
controller cpu can't be add

...it fails.

Seems to work with memory.* for some reason. Checking with cgget
confirms that the values have not been set.

This works fine:
$ cgset -r cpu.cfs_period_us=50000 gomez
$ cgset -r cpu.cfs_quota_us=10000  gomez

Also: that error message needs improvement.
