Right - previously the returned task_group would be always associated
with a cgroup. Now, it may not be.

The original task_group() should be made accessible for anything that
wants a real cgroup in the scheduler hierarchy, and called from the
new task_group() function. Not sure what the best naming convention
would be, maybe task_group() and effective_task_group() ?
