I find this correct.

So there is no point in migrating csses associated with that cgroup.
We can skip them instead.
Alone it's not such a big win but it componds with the recent Tejun's
threadgroup_rwsem elision.

It is more an optimization patch trying to not waste cpu time doing unnecessary work.
