But it'd be better to not touch anything, just deflect RT tasks away
from useless queues from the start.

sched, autogroup: fix CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED sched_setscheduler() failure.

If CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED is set, sched_setscheduler() fails due to autogroup
not allocating rt_runtime.  Squirrel allocated but useless rt_se and rt_rq
away for group destruction time, and deflect RT tasks to the root task group.
