cset problem when cpuset already mounted

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. kernel-3.2.1
2. mount /sys/fs/cgroup
3. cset set -r

What is the expected output? 
should list default parent cpuset

What do you see instead?
mount: none already mounted or /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset busy
cset: **> mount of cpuset filesystem failed, do you have permission?


What version of the product are you using? 
# cset -v
cset: Cpuset (cset) 1.5.6

On what operating system? Gentoo
# uname -a
Linux apps 3.2.1-gentoo-r2 #2 SMP Tue Feb 14 02:11:57 EST 2012 x86_64 AMD 
Opteron(tm) Processor 6128 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

# grep cgroup /etc/fstab
cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup rw 0 0

When I mount /sys/fs/cgroup, 
kernel-3.2.1 automatically populates /sys/fs/cgroup
with the following directories:

cpu, cpuacct, cpuset, devices, freezer, memory, net_cls

When cset tries to mount cpuset, it discovers that it is already mounted.

cset.py is searching for cpuset path in /proc/mounts
but none is found because cpuset is option for mount

So cset.py tries to mount /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset
but /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset already exists

So need to handle kernel-3.2 behavior
