I'm slowly starting to go through this...

AFAICT you can do with:

static struct task_struct *sched_core_any(struct rq *rq)
{
	return rb_entry(rq->core_tree.rb_node, struct task_struct, code_node);
}

I'm not sure I understand. Is the problem that we're still schedulable
during do_exit() after cgroup_exit() ? It could be argued that when we
leave the cgroup there, we should definitely leave the tag group too.
