Ho-hum...  I wonder if we are hitting cgroup_clone() in all that fun...
Could you
	a) add a printk to that sucker
	b) independently from (a), see if wrapping these syscalls into
	pid = fork();
	if (!pid) {
		[make a syscall, print something]
		exit(0);
	} else if (pid > 0) {
		waitpid(pid, NULL, 0);
	}
and see what happens...
