Hmmm... yeap but would this be an acutual problem? We can try to make
it shorter but idk it ultimately is a path. Another solution would be
trying to pass inode around but that is problematic with showing and
printing rules as the only way to reverse-map inode to path is walking
the tree and the cgroup may already be gone at that point. While >4k
struct isn't pretty, this looks like the path of least resistance.

Thanks.
