I wonder is it possible to just do the ownership change in the
virLXCCgroupCreate method ? When the container then does the
bind mount, it should preserve the ownership correctly. This
would avoid any need for the extra handshake synchronization.

I think we only want to set ownership for VIR_CGROUP_CONTROLLER_SYSTEMD.
We don't want to give the container permission to change resource
controllers, this that would allow it to potentially escape its resource
limits. You might think the hierarchy would lock things down, but I
believe the kernel developers still say it is unsafe to delegate cgroup
resource controllers to unprivileged users.
