Never mind :)

If we relax the runtime autogroup switch, maybe patch-2 is a little
overkill, because after autogroup is disabled there still could have
some tasks staying on it's autogroup.
So if we wan to keep current autogroup switch behavior, I think
we can make autogroup_path() independent on
sysctl_sched_autogroup_enabled, thus user will not be confused
by lots of groups named "cfs_rq[*]:"

But if this patch is accepted, IMHO, patch-2 is ok.

Thanks,
Yong
