Subject: [PATCH 3/7] CPU controller V1 - deal with movement of tasks


When a task moves between groups (as initiated by an administrator), it has to
be removed from the runqueue of its old group and added to the runqueue of its
new group. This patch defines this move operation.

+/*
+ * Move a task from one group to another. If the task is already on a
+ * runqueue, this involves removing the task from its old group's runqueue
+ * and adding to its new group's runqueue.
+ *
+ * This however is slightly tricky, given the facts that:
+ *
+ *	- some pointer in the task struct (ex: cpuset) represents the group
+ *  	  to which it belongs.
+ * 	- At any give point during the move operation, the pointer either
+ * 	  points to the old group or to the new group, but not both!
+ *	- dequeue_task/enqueue_task rely on this pointer to know which
+ * 	  task_grp_rq the task is to be removed from/added to.
+ *
+ * Hence the dequeue_task/enqueue_task is accomplished in two steps.
+ *
+ *	1. In first step, sched_pre_move_task() is called with the group
+ * 	   pointer set to the old group to which the task belonged.
+ * 	   If the task was on a runqueue, sched_pre_move_task() merely
+ * 	   removes it from the runqueue and returns 1 back to its
+ *	   caller indicating that step 2 is necessary.
+ *
+ * 	2. In second step, sched_post_move_task() is called with the group
+ *	   pointer set to the new group to which the task belongs.
+ *	   sched_post_move_task() merely invokes __activate_task() to add the
+ *	   task in its new runqueue.
