This patch changes mount semantics.
If cgroup_root_from_opts() returns NULL, it means we should be looking for existing superblock only.
This will fail:
# mount -t cgroup -o name=abc xxx /mnt
But this is ok:
# mount -t cgroup -o none,name=abc xxx /mnt # mkdir /mnt/sub # umount /mnt # mount -t cgroup -o name=abc xxx /mnt <-- this won't work with your patch
