I don't this this improves the code - it makes it more complex.
If you want to improve this - add the same error message that
gets printed out for

case 'c':

in argument parsing.

fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: (%i) open cg path failed: %s\n",
cg_fd, optarg);
cg_created = 1;

This looks good to me.

Why is this check necessary?

if (cg_created)
cleanup_cgroup_environment();
return err;
