Subject: [RFC, PATCH 1/2] sched: change the fairness model of the CFS group
	scheduler

This patch allows tasks and groups to exist in the same cfs_rq. With this
change the CFS group scheduling follows a 1/(M+N) model from a 1/(1+N)
fairness model where M tasks and N groups exist at the cfs_rq level.
