One possible way may be to guard it with static_branch() for 
no limit per cgroup set. That should be as near as practically
possible to the original code.

BTW the thing that usually worries me more is the cache line behaviour
when the feature is in use. In the past some of the namespace patches
have created some extremly hot global cache lines, that hurt on larger
systems (for example the Unix socket regression from uid namespaces that
is still not completly fixed). It would be good to double check that all
important state is distributed properly.
