Yup. Isn't this reasonable? 

Without this, if I'm a task in a 1GB limited cgroup, I can create a new 
one, set 2GB limit and spawn a kid into it (or move there myself) and be 
happy with 2GB of memory... With the proposed change, even if I set a 2GB
for a subgroup it will not pass _my_ (1GB) limit.
