I don't get the problem... when !fair, set_task_rq() will do what needs
doing.

The only reason we need task_move_group_fair() is the extra accounting
required when we actually _are_ of the fair class, it needs to
unaccount, move and reaccount.

If we're not fair, the whole switched_from/to stuff should do that for
us, no?

So please explain the problem.
