Thread 1:
for ((; ;))
{
mount -t cgroup -o cpuset xxx /mnt > /dev/null 2>&1
mkdir /mnt/0 > /dev/null 2>&1
rmdir /mnt/0 > /dev/null 2>&1
umount /mnt > /dev/null 2>&1
}

Thread 2:
for ((; ;))
{
mount -t cpuset xxx /mnt > /dev/null 2>&1
umount /mnt > /dev/null 2>&1
}

(Note: Again it is irrelevant which cgroup subsys is used.)

After a while this showed up:
