This is simply a regression in 5.1 caused by 73d58118498b - nothing else,
and as such this fix needs to go into 5.1 as well. I'm sure Paolo will agree.
What you so ominously  call "the group scheduling stuff" has been there and
shipping in mainline since day 1 of the BFQ merge, and it works fine in 5.0.
