lxc: don't try to hide parent cgroups inside container
On the host when we start a container, it will be
placed in a cgroup path of
/machine.slice/machine-lxc\x2ddemo.scope
under /sys/fs/cgroup/*
Inside the containers' namespace we need to setup
/sys/fs/cgroup mounts, and currently will bind
mount /machine.slice/machine-lxc\x2ddemo.scope on
the host to appear as / in the container.
While this may sound nice, it confuses applications
dealing with cgroups, because /proc/$PID/cgroup
now does not match the directory in /sys/fs/cgroup
This particularly causes problems for systems and
will make it create repeated path components in
the cgroup for apps run in the container eg
/machine.slice/machine-lxc\x2ddemo.scope/machine.slice/machine-lxc\x2ddemo.scope/user.slice/user-0.slice/session-61.scope
This also causes any systemd service that uses
sd-notify to fail to start, because when systemd
receives the notification it won't be able to
identify the corresponding unit it came from.
In particular this break rabbitmq-server startup
Future kernels will provide proper cgroup namespacing
which will handle this problem, but until that time
we should not try to play games with hiding parent
cgroups.
