Agreed, users might pass "io" in place of "blkio", I was thinking
in terms of cgroup v1 users, for whom it is "blkio" controller but
as an argument, "cgroup_no_v1" makes the controllers passed to it,
available under cgroup v2, where the controller is named "io",
which the user may use interchangeably.

Shall I re-send the patch to print the controller legacy_name only?
