TL;DR: check for IsExist(err) after a failed MkdirAll() is both
redundant and wrong -- so two reasons to remove it.
Quoting MkdirAll documentation:
> MkdirAll creates a directory named path, along with any necessary
> parents, and returns nil, or else returns an error. If path
> is already a directory, MkdirAll does nothing and returns nil.
This means two things:
1. If a directory to be created already exists, no error is
returned.
2. If the error returned is IsExist (EEXIST), it means there exists
a non-directory with the same name as MkdirAll need to use for
directory. Example: we want to MkdirAll("a/b"), but file "a"
(or "a/b") already exists, so MkdirAll fails.
The above is a theory, based on quoted documentation and my UNIX
knowledge.
3. In practice, though, current MkdirAll implementation [1] returns
ENOTDIR in most of cases described in #2, with the exception when
there is a race between MkdirAll and someone else creating the
last component of MkdirAll argument as a file. In this very case
MkdirAll() will indeed return EEXIST.
Because of #1, IsExist check after MkdirAll is not needed.
Because of #2 and #3, ignoring IsExist error is just plain wrong,
as directory we require is not created. It's cleaner to report
the error now.
Note this error is all over the tree, I guess due to copy-paste,
or trying to follow the same usage pattern as for Mkdir(),
or some not quite correct examples on the Internet.

Sometimes subsystem can be mounted to path like "subsystem1,subsystem2",
so we need to handle this.

This is needed because for nested containers cgroups. Without this patch
they creating unnecessary intermediate cgroup like:
/sys/fs/cgroup/memory/system.slice/docker-9409d9f0b68fb9e9d7d532d5b3f35e7c7f9cca1312af392ae3b28436f1f2998f.scope/system.slice/docker-9409d9f0b68fb9e9d7d532d5b3f35e7c7f9cca1312af392ae3b28436f1f2998f.scope/docker/908ebcc9c13584a14322ec070bd971e0de62f126c0cd95c079acdb99990ad3a3
It is because in /proc/self/cgroup we see paths from host, and they don't
exist in container.
