Subject: [RFC 13/60] sched: Remove useless checks for root task-group

The functions sync_throttle() and unregister_fair_sched_group() are
called during the creation and destruction of cgroups. They are never
called for the root task-group. Remove checks that always yield the
same result when operating on non-root task groups.
