Ah, okay, the file xattrs are kept in cfe which goes away on file
deletion.  :)

While changing subsys via remount is going away, I think removing
files selectively is still nice to have (even for single hierarchy).
I wish it were implemented differently tho.  As cgroup_rm_file()
already has @cft argument, wouldn't it be better to e.g. add @subsys
arg to cgroup_clear_directory() and let that walk subsys->cftsets
instead?

Thanks.
