That one is gonna have to be fixed from cgroup side. I already posted
a RFC patchset (you were cc'd there, I think). At the moment, the
blocking thing is memcg's ->pre_destroy() usage. I'll ping memcg
people once more and if modification there isn't feasible, will
implement a workaround in cgroup core.

Thanks.
