[lxc-devel] [PATCH 7/8] cgroup: mount cgroupns-root when inside non-init cgroupns

[serge at hallyn.com]

From: Aditya Kali <adityakali at google.com>

This patch enables cgroup mounting inside userns when a process
as appropriate privileges. The cgroup filesystem mounted is
rooted at the cgroupns-root. Thus, in a container-setup, only
the hierarchy under the cgroupns-root is exposed inside the container.
This allows container management tools to run inside the containers
without depending on any global state.
In order to support this, a new kernfs api is added to lookup the
dentry for the cgroupns-root.
