I actually didn't consider it, as the cgroup name serves as a clear tag
for filtering the appropriate cgroup in the entire trace file. However,
you are correct that there might be conflicts with cgroup names.
Therefore, it might be better to display both tags: ino and name. What
do you think on this?
