Binding fork and migration together looks useful.

Just a nitpick, I noticed the comment for cgroup_fork should be updated
too (generic migration happens in cgroup_post_fork).

I can see that when CLONE_INTO_CGROUP | CLONE_NEWCGROUP is passed, then
the child's cgroup NS will be rooted at parent's css set
(copy_namespaces precedes cgroup_post_fork).

Wouldn't it make better sense if this flags combination resulted in
child's NS rooted in its css set?
