Have you considered cgroup_path_from_kernfs_id()?

So, a historical map of cgroup id -> path is also useful for you, right?
(IOW, cgroup_path_from_kernfs_id() is possible but it'd inflate log
buffer size if full paths were stored instead of ids.)
(I think a similar map would be beneficial for SCM_CGROUP [1] idea too.)
