Thanks for your suggestion. If we take a reference at rebind(call
->bind()) function, cgroup_root allocated when setting up root for
cgroup v1 can never be released, because the reference count will never
be reduced to zero.
We have already tried similar methods to fix this issue, however doing
so causes another issue as mentioned previously.
