You can check /proc/cgroups:

# mount -t cgroup -o cpu,cpuset cgroup /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/sub
# umount /mnt
# cat /proc/cgroups 
#subsys_name    hierarchy       num_cgroups     enabled
cpuset  1       2       1
cpu     1       2       1
memory  0       1       1
devices 0       1       1
freezer 0       1       1
net_cls 0       1       1
blkio   0       1       1
