Regarding the behavioral aspects, here I have a report with some
simple tests for the current implementation:

   https://gist.github.com/derkling/519459b5a2be35d8681fbaf1d6efe225

There are a couple of sections at the end to test the "Delegation
Model" with both CGroups v1 and v2.

I'm sharing the link just in case it can be helpful to verify if what
has been implemented is actually matching what Tejun expects as a sane
cgroups interface.

Cheers,
Patrick
