[PATCH 5.4 28/62] x86/resctrl: Dont move a task to the same resource group

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@xxxxxxxxx>

commit a0195f314a25582b38993bf30db11c300f4f4611 upstream

Shakeel Butt reported in [1] that a user can request a task to be moved
to a resource group even if the task is already in the group. It just
wastes time to do the move operation which could be costly to send IPI
to a different CPU.

Add a sanity check to ensure that the move operation only happens when
the task is not already in the resource group.
