Though what you say makes sense, the confusion arises from existing
cgroup<->scheduler interface, which can end up showing the above
single-set of RT-tasks to be split into multiple sets.

RT Tasks -> {RT0, RT1}

can be shown as:

	/a/tasks {RT0, ...}
	/b/tasks {RT1, ...}

Does this cause any problems? Perhaps no, just seems odd ..

Fixing this oddity of representing single RT-tasks set as multiple is not a 
cgroup issue IMHO.

P.S :- If eventually RT_GROUP_SCHED will be merged with FAIR_GROUP_SCHED, then 
it may make sense for us to just ignore this oddity for timebeing and look 
forward to the options being merged.
