I think this is wrong. You're right in that we need not schedule it not,
but the above also completely fails to add it to the context, leading to
it never being scheduled ever.

At the very least we should do add_event_to_ctx() on it.

So the only thing you can do is pick 'reprogram' or not based on if the
current cgrp is related to the event->ctx.
