Hmm... looks like this is something which can be decided by the cgroup
itself and should be made delegatable.  Given that different flags
might need different delegation settings and the precedence of
memory.oom_group, I think it'd be better to make the flags separate
bool files - ie. cpuset.sched_load_balance which contains 0/1 and
marked delegatable.

Thanks.
