One practical problem I've found with cgroup namespaces is that there
is no way to disambiguate between a cgroupfs mount which was done in
a cgroup namespace, and a bind mount of a cgroupfs directory.  So
whether I do

unshare --cgroup -- bash -c "mount -t cgroup -o freezer f /mnt; cat 
/proc/self/mountinfo"

or whether I just

mount --bind /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/$(awk -F: '/freezer/ { print $3 }' 
/proc/self/cgroup) /mnt

'mount root' field (field 3) in /proc/self/mountinfo will show the
same thing, the result of awk -F: '/freezer/ { print $3 }' /proc/self/cgroup.

This patch adds a 'nsroot=' field to cgroup mountinfo entries, so that
userspace can distinguish a mount made in a cgroup namespace from a bind
mount from a cgroup subdirectory.
