Hi Shaojie,

Thanks — the throttled_usec semantics are described correctly.

One fix needed: "exists on non-root cgroups" is inaccurate.
cpu.stat.local is registered without CFTYPE_NOT_ON_ROOT, so (like
cpu.stat) it exists on the root cgroup too:

  $ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu.stat.local
  throttled_usec 0
