This patch defines CGROUP_WEIGHT_MIN/DFL/MAX to be used on all weight

follow-up patch will update io.weight.

Aside from 100% being a sane 'default', what it actually is is a unit.
100% == 1.

So I would suggest naming the thing CGROUP_WEIGHT_UNIT := 100,

+#define CGROUP_WEIGHT_MIN		1
+#define CGROUP_WEIGHT_DFL		100
+#define CGROUP_WEIGHT_MAX		10000

That said, I'm not entirely keen on having to change this.
