I recomend you to read Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt to know
cgroup better. Cgroup is used to aggregate/partition sets of tasks,
so of course you can put more than 1 task into a cgroup.

mount cgroupfs with all cgroup subsystems is not so sane IMO.

That's because ns_cgroup is binded in this cgroup hierarchy, and
it's ns_cgroup that prevents the task attaching, but a patch in
-mm tree relaxes this check, and you won't see this restriction
when using ns_cgroup.
