That's argueable I guess. Likely or not, it doesn't make sense to
add such restrictions if not required, especially not when it is
trivial to just look at the cgroup of the task directly.

If the ingress case is of such importance, I'd propose to lookup
the classid via skb -> socket -> task -> classid.

Anyways, I think we've listed all the pros and cons of either approach.
