This condition is there because we don't want to do implicit cgroup
changes when a process attaches to another cgroupns. cgroupns tries to
preserve the invariant that at any point, your current cgroup is
always under the cgroupns-root of your cgroup namespace. But in your
example, if we allow a process in "session-c12.scope" container to
attach to cgroupns root'ed at "session-c12.scope/x1" container
(without implicitly moving its cgroup), then this invariant won't
hold.
