Subject: [PATCH] x86/resctrl: fix redundant task movement

Currently a task can be moved to a rdtgroup multiple times or between
resource or monitoring groups. This can cause multiple task works are
added, waste memory and degrade performance.

To fix the issue, only move the task to a rdtgroup when the task
is not in the rdgroup. Don't try to move the task to the rdtgroup
again when the task is already in the rdtgroup.

Also move the setting of tsk->closid and tsk->rmid before task_work_add
to remove a potential race where the task start executing the registered
callback before the request set its closid and rmid.
