tst_test.c:1215: INFO: Timeout per run is 0h 05m 00s

That's more of the system problem than anything else, kernel itself does
not mount cgroups anywhere, that's usually done it the boot process and
it ends up under /sys/fs/cgroups/ on most of the recent distributions.

It looks like something has mounted cgroups over the /dev/cgroup on your
system, it's up to you to figure out why is it mounted there.
