If we restart with one of the CLONE_NEW flags like CLONE_NEWPID, a
new cgroup is automatically created right ? So, in effect, all I want
at this point is to be able to leave the restarted application in the
FROZEN state (ie specify the RESTART_FROZEN flag to sys_restart()).

Ok. Will add a new field to struct app_restart_args to pass the
RESTART_FROZEN flag to sys_restart(). We can then either add -F option
or allow --freezer without argument to choose this behavior.
