[PATCH v5 7/9] sched/fair: allow changing cgroup of new forked task

From: Chengming Zhou
Date: Wed Aug 17 2022 - 23:46:26 EST


commit 7dc603c9028e ("sched/fair: Fix PELT integrity for new tasks")
introduce a TASK_NEW state and an unnessary limitation that would fail
when changing cgroup of new forked task.

Because at that time, we can't handle task_change_group_fair() for new
forked fair task which hasn't been woken up by wake_up_new_task(),
which will cause detach on an unattached task sched_avg problem.

This patch delete this unnessary limitation by adding check before do
detach or attach in task_change_group_fair().

So cpu_cgrp_subsys.can_attach() has nothing to do for fair tasks,
only define it in #ifdef CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED.
