OK, as the feature has to be enabled explicitly I do not mind not
exporting the file.
I have one nit though. Can we extend the comment for mem_cgroup_bind
that it doesn't have to care about children because there are none
because rebind_subsystems wouldn't allow remounting otherwise?
It wasn't obvious, at least from me.

Other than that.
