superfluous brackets, also isn't @this_cpu supposed to be part of the
sched_group_cpu(group) mask?

I'll kill the brackets.

IIUC, @this_cpu is never part of sched_group_cpus(group).
find_idlest_group() never returns the local group, so if we manage to
get to find_idlest_cpu(), the group would not contain @this_cpu.
