They are defined in 2/13 in libcgroup-internal.h for libcgroup itself
and in 10/13 for tools, which do not include libcgroup-internal.h

libcgroup just provides possibility to set a logging callback, it's up
to applications (=cgrulesengd) to send the message to syslog. And that's
what flog() does. I've been probably not specific enough in the patch
descriptions.
