Yes. Hence this change makes sure that we don't return EINVAL when
nr_opts == 0 or nr_opts == 1 :)
That way, both of the following are equivalent when inside non-init cgroupns:

(1) $ mount -t cgroup -o __DEVEL__sane_behavior cgroup mountpoint
(2) $ mount -t cgroup cgroup mountpoint

Any other mount option will trigger the error here.
