But if it can only be changed for the root cgroup when it has no children, than implies that all cgroups must have the same mode. I'm suggesting that we allow non-root cgroups to change their mode, as long as:
- they have no children
- they don't have any limit charged to their parent (which means that either they have a zero limit, or they have no parent, or they're not in hierarchy mode)
