I'm still not sold on the idea.  For better or worse, the permission
model is mostly based on vfs and I don't want to deviate too much as
that's likely to become confusing pretty quickly.  If a sub-hierarchy
is to be delegated, that's upto whomever is controlling cgroup
hierarchy in the sub-domain.  We can expand the perm checks to
consider user namespaces but I'd like to avoid going beyond that.

Thanks.
