Hi.

I'd like this proc_cgroup_show de-contention.
(Provided the previous patch and this one can be worked out somehow.)

Can those be other than v1 root cgroups? A suffix "(unmounted)" may be
more informative then.

(Non-zombie tasks prevent their cgroup removal, zombie tasks won't have
any non-trivial path rendered.)

What about the cgroup_path_ns_locked() that prints the path?

(I argue above that no non-trivial path is rendered but I'm not sure
whether rcu_read_lock() is sufficient sync wrt cgroup rmdir.)
