• Fix cgroup co-mounting error in RHEL7: 
  • unmount all cgroups:  
    • umount /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct
    • umount /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset
    • umount  /sys/fs/cgroup/memory

           cpu = /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu;
           cpuacct = /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct;
           memory = /sys/fs/cgroup/memory;
           devices = /sys/fs/cgroup/devices;
           freezer = /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer;
