fwiw, it would be ever so nice to get rid of cpuacct -- its a horrendous
piece of crap.
Anyway, memcg is more than an bean counter, it can do actual
enforcement, so by allowing it outside the root group you allow it into
an enforced group, making it so that you cannot spawn more threads at
some point, which might mean making your kernel not work properly.
Just fix memcg already to account whatever you want for the root group.
