Please align the struct members as you did everywhere else already.

Lacks a comment:

  	/*
	 * Take a refcount, so rdtgrp cannot be freed before the
	 * callback has been invoked
	 */

Lacks a comment as well:

      		/*
		 * Task is exiting. Drop the refcount and free the callback.
		 * No need to check the refcount as the group cannot be
		 * deleted before the write function unlocks rdtgroup_mutex.
		 */

For you the comment might be obvious, but I had to lookup the world and
some more.

This goto is pointless as this is the only user,

     	     	        rcu_read_unlock()l
			return -ESRCH;

I wonder, whether we should simply give those tasks back to the default
group, same as we do with the cpus.
