Delegation is an explicit operation and reflected in the ownership of the subdirectories and cgroup interface files in them. The subhierarchy containment is achieved by requiring the user who's trying to migrate a process to have write perm on cgroup.procs on the common ancestor of the source and target in addition to the target. So, a user who has a subhierarchy delegated to it can move processes around inside but not out of or into it. Also, if there are multiple delegated disjoint subhierarchies, processes can't be moved across them by the delegatee either.
