I looked into this more deeply. And yes, the old cgroup.event_control
has the common name, but it's used in the memcg implementation only.

So, if we plan to introduce new samples for cgroup, I suggest we use the
following naming convention:

1) Directory: samples/cgroup
2) V1 sample: memcg_v1_event_listener
3) V2 sample: memcg_v2_event_listener

Please let me know what you think about this. If it's okay with you, I
will prepare the v4 version with the above changes. I would appreciate
any feedback on that!"
