Not a deal breaker but I wonder whether it'd be safer to migrate it to the
nearest live ancestor rather than directly to the root. As adaptive
migration isn't something guaranteed, there's some chance that this can
behave as escape-to-root path in pathological cases especially for inodes
which may be written to by multiple cgroups.
Thanks.
