I'm not cgroup expert, but I doubt it is mount option. I suspect it's
cgroup option. That's said, if we have following two directories,

/cgroup-for-virtualization
/cgroup-for-resource-management

are both directory affected the overlay flag? I don't think it is not
optimal. Why? we must care some system software (e.g. kvm, systemd) are
using cgroup internally and we expected this trend will grow more.

So, I doubt namespace issue can be solved by such tiny patch.
