But seems the patch makes it impossible to re-allow a restricted task tobe binded to INADDR_ANY.

Firstly, is inheritance necessary ?
If yes, then how about:
The root cgroup is read-only, so the tasks in it always bind to INADDR_ANY.For other cgroups, write is allowed only if it has no children and theparent is INADDR_ANY.
