Please refer to "2-5. Delegation" of Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt.
Delegation on v1 is broken on both core and specific controller
behaviors and thus discouraged.  On v2, delegation should work just
fine.

I haven't looked in detail but in general I'm not too excited about
layering security mechanism on top of cgroup.  Maybe it makes some
sense when security domain coincides with resource domains but at any
rate please keep me in the loop.

Thanks.
