When a group parameter has empty value (like uninitialized cpuset.cpus),
libcgroup does not return this parameter value - it returns
ECGROUPVALUENOTEXIST instead.

I think reading whole parameter file instead of just '%s' is the right thing
to do - it helps also with multiline values, like cpuacct.stat.
