Yeah, this will select all enabled controllers, but which doesn't the behavior we want.
I think the case should return error with information "Disabled controller xx" rather than
attaching all the other enabled controllers.

For example, boot with cgroup_no_v1=cpu, and then mount with
"mount -t cgroup -o cpu cpu /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu", then all enabled controllers will
be attached expect cpu.

See above. Just the mount behavior isn't what we what.
The behavior was changed since commit f5dfb5315d34 ("cgroup: take options parsing into ->parse_monolithic()"),
will add this as Fixes.
