Looking at the code, I'm not quite sure we're actually plugging all holes in
terms of lookup. I think cgroup_get_from_path() would allow walking up past
the ns boundary. We aren't using kernfs ns support and I don't see anything
preventing ..'ing past the boundary.

Considering userns and the fact that we try to isolate two separate sub
hierarchies delegated to the same UID, I think we'd have to tighten down on
the behaviors so that visiblity scope matches the permission scope.

Thanks.
