So, I know it's silly but the file is dumb \t formatted (ie. single \t
between fields) and am slightly worried that changing the format might break
some dumb userspace tooling. Given that the information isn't really needed
for cgroup2 anyway, it prolly is better to leave it as-is, I think.

Thanks.
