Here, I think we're okay setting up cgroup by name - because it is the
host-visible name, not the guest-visible name, and cgroup just stat()s
the host name to use the major:minor anyways.  But since we already have
sb.st_rdev, why not avoid a second stat() and just tell cgroup to change
by major:minor in the first place?

Same problem as in 10/14 about no audit of cleanup attempts.  And again,
something probably worth fixing in its own patch, so for this one:

ACK.
