Revert "sched/core: Reduce cost of sched_move_task when config autogroup"

commit 76f970ce51c80f625eb6ddbb24e9cb51b977b598 upstream.

This reverts commit eff6c8ce8d4d7faef75f66614dd20bb50595d261.

Hazem reported a 30% drop in UnixBench spawn test with commit
eff6c8ce8d4d ("sched/core: Reduce cost of sched_move_task when config
autogroup") on a m6g.xlarge AWS EC2 instance with 4 vCPUs and 16 GiB RAM
(aarch64) (single level MC sched domain):

There is an early bail from sched_move_task() if p->sched_task_group is
equal to p's 'cpu cgroup' (sched_get_task_group()). E.g. both are
pointing to taskgroup '/user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-1.scope'
(Ubuntu '22.04.5 LTS').

So in:

  do_exit()

    sched_autogroup_exit_task()

      sched_move_task()

        if sched_get_task_group(p) == p->sched_task_group
          return

        /* p is enqueued */
        dequeue_task()              \
        sched_change_group()        |
          task_change_group_fair()  |
            detach_task_cfs_rq()    |                              (1)
            set_task_rq()           |
            attach_task_cfs_rq()    |
        enqueue_task()              /

(1) isn't called for p anymore.

Turns out that the regression is related to sgs->group_util in
group_is_overloaded() and group_has_capacity(). If (1) isn't called for
all the 'spawn' tasks then sgs->group_util is ~900 and
sgs->group_capacity = 1024 (single CPU sched domain) and this leads to
group_is_overloaded() returning true (2) and group_has_capacity() false
(3) much more often compared to the case when (1) is called.

I.e. there are much more cases of 'group_is_overloaded' and
'group_fully_busy' in WF_FORK wakeup sched_balance_find_dst_cpu() which
then returns much more often a CPU != smp_processor_id() (5).

This isn't good for these extremely short running tasks (FORK + EXIT)
and also involves calling sched_balance_find_dst_group_cpu() unnecessary
(single CPU sched domain).

Instead if (1) is called for 'p->flags & PF_EXITING' then the path
(4),(6) is taken much more often.

  select_task_rq_fair(..., wake_flags = WF_FORK)

    cpu = smp_processor_id()

    new_cpu = sched_balance_find_dst_cpu(..., cpu, ...)

      group = sched_balance_find_dst_group(..., cpu)

        do {

          update_sg_wakeup_stats()

            sgs->group_type = group_classify()

              if group_is_overloaded()                             (2)
                return group_overloaded

              if !group_has_capacity()                             (3)
                return group_fully_busy

              return group_has_spare                               (4)

        } while group

        if local_sgs.group_type > idlest_sgs.group_type
          return idlest                                            (5)

        case group_has_spare:

          if local_sgs.idle_cpus >= idlest_sgs.idle_cpus
            return NULL                                            (6)
