Thank you very much for your continued reviews and I'm sorry I'm
having so much trouble getting anyone with cgroup experience to look
deeply into this. My guess is that it's not very active feature and
the patchseries is long and complex so folks are not interested.
Nevertheless I'm continually poking David and Shakeel and they will
hopefully continue to look into this.

FWIW, I have a test for repartenting/counting zombies and the tests at
least don't uncover any problems.
