Ah, I remember, cgroup_clone was a massive pain, Serge said he'd wanted
to kill that, but I don't think that ever happened.

    copy_process():
      if (current->nsproxy != p->nsproxy)
         ns_cgroup_clone()
           cgroup_clone()
             mutex_lock(inode->i_mutex)
             mutex_lock(cgroup_mutex)
             cgroup_attach_task()
           ss->can_attach()
               ss->attach() [ -> cpuset_attach() ]
                 cpuset_attach_task()
                   set_cpus_allowed_ptr();

was the code path that made set_cpus_allowed_ptr() exclusion against
fork interesting.
