I really don't wanna do this. This comes with all sorts of reverse
lookup and naming issues. In addition, cgroup1 and 2 aren't mutually
exclusive. If the use case is on cgroup1 and wants to use cgroup bpf
programs, just replicate the cgroup2 hierarchy for bpf. Hierarchy
replication across different controllers is how most use cgroup1 after
all. With recent versions of systemd which defaults to using cgroup2
for process management, you get the replication for free too.

Thanks.
