Passing full path to the cgroup directory sound much safer to me
especially when the directory name is just 'cgroup', try it yourself:

device=cgroup/; grep "${device%/}" /proc/mounts

On my machine this yields 10 lines and 21 matches.

Strongly agree here.

I would go even one step further and change the library so that it
rejects anything that does not start with '/'.
