I'm testing in an environment without systemd.

You need to mount cgroup with a special option:

  # mount -t cgroup -o __DEVEL__sane_behavior xxx /where

If a cgroup controller has already been mounted without this option,
you won't see it in the unified hierarchy, so firstly you need to
delete all cgroups in it and umount it.
