Correction (still not tested):

# mount -t cgroup2 none /cgroup/v2
# mkdir /cgroup/v2/xxx
# echo PID > /cgroup/v2/xxx/cgroup.procs
/* this PID process starts to do some network thing */

# mount -t cgroup -o netprio xxx /cgroup/netprio
# mkdir /cgroup/netprio/xxx
# echo PID > /cgroup/netprio/xxx/tasks
...
/* the PID process exits */

rmdir /cgroup/netprio/xxx
rmdir /cgroup/v2/xxx
/* now looks like this v2 cgroup will never be freed */
