Easy. xattrs allow cgroups to be labeled for use with SELinux.

Those aren't user xattrs though. The user. xattr namespace is unprivileged. The SMACK and SELinux xattrs are in the security. namespace.

Its worth noting that procfs supports the security name space but cgroupfs doesn't yet. cgroupfs security xattr support should be implemented in the same way that the sysfs xattr support is done instead of proc.
