07e06b011d sched: Consolidate the name of root_task_group and init_task_group
root_task_group is the leftover of USER_SCHED, now it's always
same to init_task_group.
But as Mike suggested, root_task_group is maybe the suitable name
to keep for a tree.
So in this patch:
  init_task_group      --> root_task_group
  init_task_group_load --> root_task_group_load
  INIT_TASK_GROUP_LOAD --> ROOT_TASK_GROUP_LOAD

4f8219875a sched, autogroup: Fix potential access to freed memory
Oleg pointed out that the /proc interface kref_get() useage may race with
the final put during autogroup_move_group().  A signal->autogroup assignment
may be in flight when the /proc interface dereference, leaving them taking
a reference to an already dead group.

5091faa449 sched: Add 'autogroup' scheduling feature: automated per session task groups
A recurring complaint from CFS users is that parallel kbuild has
a negative impact on desktop interactivity.  This patch
implements an idea from Linus, to automatically create task
groups.  Currently, only per session autogroups are implemented,
but the patch leaves the way open for enhancement.

Implementation: each task's signal struct contains an inherited
pointer to a refcounted autogroup struct containing a task group
pointer, the default for all tasks pointing to the
init_task_group.  When a task calls setsid(), a new task group
is created, the process is moved into the new task group, and a
reference to the preveious task group is dropped.  Child
processes inherit this task group thereafter, and increase it's
refcount.  When the last thread of a process exits, the
process's reference is dropped, such that when the last process
referencing an autogroup exits, the autogroup is destroyed.

At runqueue selection time, IFF a task has no cgroup assignment,
its current autogroup is used.

Autogroup bandwidth is controllable via setting it's nice level
through the proc filesystem:

  cat /proc/<pid>/autogroup

Displays the task's group and the group's nice level.

  echo <nice level> > /proc/<pid>/autogroup

Sets the task group's shares to the weight of nice <level> task.
Setting nice level is rate limited for !admin users due to the
abuse risk of task group locking.

The feature is enabled from boot by default if
CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP=y is selected, but can be disabled via
the boot option noautogroup, and can also be turned on/off on
the fly via:

  echo [01] > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled

... which will automatically move tasks to/from the root task group.
