Oh, BTW, do we still need bc4278987e38 ("sched/fair: Fix FTQ noise
bench regression") with this patch?  That patch looks like it's just
cutting down on the body of the O(#cgroups) loop.

Ying, can you verify whether the following patch on top of the current
linus#master 56868a460b83 also fixes the regression that you saw?
