Niced CPU usage is a metric reported in host-level /prot/stat, but is
not reported in cgroup-level statistics in cpu.stat. However, when a
host contains multiple tasks across different workloads, it becomes
difficult to gauge how much of the task is being spent on niced
processes based on /proc/stat alone, since host-level metrics do not
provide this cgroup-level granularity.

Exposing this metric will allow users to accurately probe the niced CPU
metric for each workload, and make more informed decisions when
directing higher priority tasks.
