On the default hierarchy (cgroup2), the throttle interface files don't exist in the root cgroup, so the ablity to limit the whole system by configuring root group is not existing anymore. In general, cgroup doesn't wanna be in the business of restricting resources at the system level, so correct the stale comment that we can limit whole system to we can only limit subtree.
