Thank you for pointing this out -- I'll edit the commit message to the
following in a v2:

Cgroup-level CPU statistics currently include time spent on
user/system processes, but do not include niced CPU time (despite
already being tracked). This patch exposes niced CPU time to the
userspace, allowing users to get a better understanding of their
hardware limits and can facilitate more informed workload distribution.

Thanks,
Joshua
