Thanks, yeah, you can tell we've not had multithreaded api users yet -
this is great :)

A few comments though.  I can wait for a new patch, or if you prefer I
can address them myself inline.  (We currently don't yet try to
guarantee bisectability, but Id like us to start keeping it in mind :)

In the case of a bind mount, there could be two long pathnames in the
mntent plus options - is MAXPATHLEN deemed big enough?  Are we better
off mallocing something like 3*MAXPATHLEN?

Best to check that the allocations succeeded.

dirpath needs to be initialized to NULL at the top for this to work
out right.

note that in this case lxc_cgroup_path_get will not have assigned
dirpath at all so we know we won't need to free - but it's probably
more future-proof to do so.

same concern about sufficient size.
