This is already in our stable-2.0 branch, so both LXC 2.1 and LXC 2.0.9 will have it.

The workaround is to manually mount the cgroup filesystem before starting the container (using the lxc.mount.entry in the config file), but, LXC performs the mount too early, before being in the container cgroup namespace, that means what's mounted matches host cgroup namespace, not container namespace. The bug was already reported upstream[1][2], but didn't make it to Ubuntu yet, AFAIK. A fix was merged in master[3], would it be possible to have it in Ubuntu Xenial? So far, we manually patch Ubuntu LXC packages with that patch and observed no régressions. Thanks! Cheers, P.
