Who keeps tg alive and kicking while you poke at its (cpustat) member?

* All calls to this function currently pass current as a parameter (Okay, maybe it is too generic and we should pass nothing at all, and grab current within it)
* rcu_read_lock() guarantees that current will exist during this call, and task_group won't change. (right?)
